Senator J W Fulbright chair of the Foreign Relations Committee said the Senate will likely not rescind the Tonkin resolution used to justify Vietnam policy though he warned Congress has ceded war-waging decisions to the President. He urged clearer congressional involvement in war decisions and warned that disillusionment will surface in other forms. He and Senator McGovern both criticized the resolution, with McGovern saying he will not vote for such a resolution again. Fulbright cautioned that bombing near China risks broader conflict and noted Congress’ limited sanctions beyond funding.
