A bill to require the Secretary of War to submit an annual report to Congress that assesses the capacity of the United States to fully implement the Taiwan Relations Act, and for other purposes.

This legislation proposes a new reporting requirement for the executive branch to ensure the United States remains capable of meeting its commitments to Taiwan. Specifically, the bill would mandate an annual assessment submitted to Congress regarding the nation's capacity to fully implement the Taiwan Relations Act, a 1979 law that governs unofficial relations between the U.S. and Taiwan and outlines American policy regarding Taiwan's security. While the bill title refers to the Secretary of War, in modern practice this responsibility would likely fall under the Department of Defense. If enacted, the bill aims to provide lawmakers with regular, detailed information about military and diplomatic readiness concerning the Taiwan Strait. This oversight mechanism is intended to help Congress evaluate whether current resources, staffing, and strategic plans are sufficient to maintain the regional stability and defense cooperation envisioned by existing law. For everyday citizens, this bill represents an effort to increase transparency and accountability regarding U.S. foreign policy and military preparedness in the Indo-Pacific region.
