   “As early as August we had publicly withdrawn our opposition to consideration of this question and indicated our support of the concept of the "two Chinas," Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China on Taiwan and the Communist People's Republic of China, each to have membership in the world organization. It had not been easy for me to take a position that would be so disappointing to our old friend and loyal ally, Chiang.”

   “When Chiang Kai-shek died in 1975, it was widely assumed that he had wanted to be buried someday on the mainland, although he is not known to have left any explicit instructions. His body was embalmed and placed in what is officially still a temporary mausoleum here, and the same was done with his son. If the Chiang family has its way, as now seems likely, both former presidents of Taiwan will finally be buried next spring.”
