Senate blocks Godley as East Asia secretary of state
Washington and congressional aides report the Senate Foreign Relations Committee refused to approve G McMurtrie Godley for assistant secretary of state for East Asia. The action is viewed as part of a broader effort to curb executive branch power and restore congressional influence in foreign policy. White House and State Department officials condemned the move as punitive for policies not set by them, while Godley may be reassigned to a Europe post after a stint in Asia, per Nixon and Kissinger.
