Senate votes to repeal Tonkin Resolution again
In a 57 to 5 vote the Senate second time repealed the Tonkin Resolution, moving to end this wartime authority. The concurrent resolution would end U S authorization for expanded military action in Southeast Asia, not needing the president’s signature to take effect. House action and conference status left as uncertain as lawmakers debate Cambodia war powers.
