Katzenbach warns repeal of Tonkin Gulf resolution risks constitutional authority
Former Johnson official Nicholas Katzenbach told a House subcommittee repeal of the Tonkin Gulf resolution would strip constitutional authority for U.S. involvement in Indochina. He supported limiting future authorizations with expiration dates and cautioned that repeal could expand presidential power beyond prior bounds. He noted Senate approval with Nixon backing but House action pending.
