TRANSCRIPT: (SEQ. 2): CHINESE DELEGATE: "The Albanian representative challenged the right of representation of my Government. Now let me say at once that the Government that I have the honour to represent was one of the four sponsoring Governments at the San Francisco conference which brought the United Nations into being. We, the Republic of China, firmly state in the Security Council, by virtue of its tremendous national sacrifices and contributions during the Second World War. It has for over a quarter of a century, with the continuity of leader ship and policy unparalleled in contemporary history, collaborated in the work of the United Nations."

Background: The United States and 16 other countries called on the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday (22 September) to seat the People's Republic of China in the United Nations while permitting Taiwan to retain its seat.

The United States resolution also called for the Peking Government to be given Taiwan's seat in the Security Council. The preliminary debate on the resolution came in the General Assembly's 25-nation steering committee.

In the United Nations on Wednesday, the Taiwan Ambassador, Mr. Liu Chieh spoke out strongly against United States proposals to give its Security Council seat to the Peking Government.
