Fulbright warns on Gulf Tonkin resolution power
Senator Fulbright says Congress acted too hastily in backing Johnson with the Gulf of Tonkin resolution and did not intend to grant wide wartime powers. He notes the measure allows cancellation and cautions against a full land war in Asia while supporting action to defend Southeast Asia. He also cites past hearings and the president's authority to use appropriate means.
