Prouty Explains Why He Voted For Byrd Amendment
UPI reports Senators Winston L. Prouty Thomas J. Dodd and Norris Cotton were the sole New England lawmakers backing the Byrd amendment to empower the President to reinvade Cambodia to protect U.S. troops in Vietnam. Prouty said he would not tie the President's hands and would not derail him. Dodd, visiting from Old Lyme Conn where he is recovering from a heart attack, said he wanted to record his vote. Cotton, of New Hampshire, called Cambodia a mistake yet supported presidential authority but opposed delaying debate and planned to vote against the Cooper Church amendment. He forecast more Cambodia votes will follow this pattern.

The case centers on Joseph Bartlett’s 1969 conviction for procuring abortions under the law, with challenges alleging vagueness due process and lack of compelling state interest.
