GOP lawmakers push to end Gulf of Tonkin authority
A group of Republicans in Congress circulated resolutions to amend the 1964 Tonkin Gulf resolution adding a December 31 1970 expiration. They say the move ends presidential authority for combat in Vietnam while not blocking noncombat troops. They frame it as restoring congressional power and supporting Nixon's goal to de Americanize the war.

Washington H opened with a sharp clash over access to weapons data during debate on a 21.3 billion defense bill. Rep. Otis G. Pike of New York accused secrecy of hindering specifics while Committee Chairman L Mendel Rivers defended spending.
