Senate panel seeks end to presidential emergency powers
A Senate special committee, chaired by Sen. Mathias and Sen. Church, examines mechanisms to terminate the national emergency declared in 1950. The panel, eight members strong, will catalog emergency laws and may propose limits or elimination while the Nixon era raises arguments about congressional reassertion of foreign affairs authority. Also noted is Tim Leary’s Afghanistan arrest and potential return to the United States to face federal charges.
