Carter et al.). This brief would have taken the two following main positions, which have been advanced in the amicus brief filed in the Court of Appeals, by the Georgetown University Law Center, Don Wallace, Jr. and Leonard J. Theberge. 1. That, under principles of international law ap- plicable in United States courts, the Mutual De- fense Treaty Between the United States of America and Taiwan became inoperative upon the U.S. withdrawal of recognition from and severance of diplomatic relations with the governmental authorities on Taiwan; and, 2. That the President of the United States had authority, without congressional approval, to acknowledge that a treaty which was previously ratified with the advice and consent of the Sen- ate has become inoperative under principles of international law applicable in the U.S. courts.
