GOP Solons Seek Tonkin Deadline
Washington Republicans circulate a plan to amend the Tonkin resolution with a December 31, 1970 expiration date to end presidential combat authority in Vietnam. Rep. Don Reigle and Rep. Paul McCloskey join Sen. Mark Hatfield in submitting the measure, arguing Congress must decide war timing while McCloskey says noncombat troops could still be dispatched. They maintain the Johnson era document usurps constitutional powers, and Nixon favors slowing the war through de Americanization aims.
