Quote by Dwight D Eisenhower
With 450,000 U. S. troops now in Vietnam, it is time that Congress decided whether or not to declare a state of war exists with North Vietnam. Previous congressional resolutions of support provide only limited authority. Although Congress may decide that the previously approved resolution on Vietnam given President Johnson is sufficient, the issue of a declaration of war should at least be put before the Congress for decision.
Summary
This quote expresses the urgent need for Congress to make a decision regarding a formal declaration of war in Vietnam. With a large number of U.S. troops already deployed in the country, the existing resolutions of support are considered to be of limited authority. The quote suggests that Congress should debate whether the current resolution is enough or if a specific declaration of war is necessary, highlighting the importance of seeking a formal decision from Congress on this matter.
