The sessions isolate Fulbright from his committee, signaling a move toward bipartisanship and away from past executive legislative clashes over foreign policy. Sen John Sparkman attended the Dec 2 breakfast where Cambodian aid plans were outlined, marking a potential thaw in the policy deadlock.

Declaration Of War Debate On Southeast Asia Mistake
The author argues against a formal declaration of war over aid to South Vietnam. A declaration would complicate sea trade, risk direct conflict with the Soviet Union and Red China, and require Congress action though the Gulf of Tonkin resolution already approved military support.
