Critics balk at Johnson bid to rescind Tonkin resolution
Washington AP critics in Congress say they will not accept President Johnsons challenge to repeal the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin resolution cited as backing his Vietnam actions. Johnson announced on a national TV news conference that he has ample authority to conduct the conflict and that Congress could withdraw its support if desired. The Tonkin resolution, adopted Aug 7, 1964, allowed the President to repel armed attacks and take necessary measures in Vietnam, with a provision that Congress could terminate it by a joint resolution. Senate figures including Fulbright and Javits weighed feasibility and political support for rescinding or seeking a new mandate.
