Sorenson urges precise crisis handling and constitutional convention

Former Kennedy Johnson adviser Theodore Sorenson told the Anti-Defamation League lawyers division that the United States must anticipate crises with more precision. He warned of unclarified risks from a possible constitutional convention if two more states petition Congress and urged an Article V implementation statute to organize a convention by population. He noted international stress from the United Arab blockade and Israel’s moves toward the Suez Canal, stressing the need for preparedness and orderly process.
