Senator Sam J. Ervin Says .... Merry IHI News
WASHINGTON—The Senate
debate on the President’s de
cision to send U. S. forces
Into Cambodia raises far
reaching issues about the
powers of the Presidency in
respect to foreign policy.
It is precisely for this rea
son that the ultimate decision
reached by the Congress on
,-this question may transcend
all of the immediate military
strategies of the hour. No
natter what one may think
about the wisdom of our or
iginal involvement in South
east Asia, the fact is that we
are now heavily committed to
the peace and stability of
that area. Thus the Cooper-
Church proposal and similar
proposals to get us out of the
war in Vietnam by a certain
Almost Out of It!
Next week about this time, you’ll
almost be out of it... that’s Tight, another
school year will be over before you know
it!
\
Some of you will start those long
awaited summer vacations; others will
begin newly-acquired summer jobs; and,
alas, there are still others whose major
activity will be summer school. A good
many of this year’s graduates will be
making preparations for their first year
of college this fall.
Regardless of your personal plans
for the season, we want to wish each of
you a Safe, Healthy and Happy Summer.

day constitute not only a
vain Attempt to repeal history
but actually challenge the
power of the President to
break the resistance of the
enemy and to insure the saf
ety of American troops en
gaged in battle in that peril
ous land.
Stripped to its essentials,
the Cooper - Church proposal
undertakes to forbid the
President of any of his mili
tary subordinates to send any
American soldier across the
boundary line between South
Vietnam and Cambodia after
its effective date no matter
what the conditions might be
and no matter how necessary
the prohibited action might
be to secure the safety of
members of our military
nm cbowan WBUW>, dbron, mm/oaoutt, hdudat, juke «, im
forces in South Vietnam.
Aside from the practical prob.
lems this poses for our mili
tary forces, its most import
ant consequence would be to
strip the of his
power to act as commander
in-chief of our armed forces.
This is the nature of the
proposal because, in effect, it
seeks to place the command
of American troops engaged
in combat operation in a
Congress of 100 Senators and
435 Representatives. I can
not imagine anything that
would more nearly resemble
bedlam than to have a coun
cil of war composed of 100
Senators and 435 Representa
tives to determine where the
enemy is to be attacked or
■how the defeat of the enemy
is going to be undertaken, or
how to protect American
forces from destruction by an
armed enemy.
The Founding Fathers were
! wiser than that so they put a
provision in the Constitution
stating that the commander
in-chief of the armed forces
was to be the President. To
be sure, .the President has no
power to declare war, but we
have crossed that bridge al
ready. Congress declared in
the Southeast Asian Resolu
tion that our naval vessels
were being attacked by North
Vietnam, that this attack was
part and parcel of the ag
gression which North Vietnam
was inflicting upon South
Vietnam, that pursuant to the
Constitution, the Charter of
the United Nations, and our
obligations under the SEATO
Treaty, Congress was author
izing the President to take
all necessary measures, in
cluding the use of armed
forces to repel attacks on our
ships, and aggression on
South Vietnam and the other
nations covered by the SEATO
Treaty. When Congress de
clared these things, it was
certainly declaring that a
state of war existed, and that
it consented for the President
to initiate hostilities and use
our armed forces in South
Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
Moreover, it seems to me
that some have raised a false
issue that the Cambodian op
eration constitutes a new
war. We' are fighting the
same enemy in the same war
and must recognize that he
has been using sanctuaries
along the border of South
Vietnam to launch military
attacks for the past five years. ‘
Now that the President has
determined that it was ne
cessary to destroy these mili
tary arsenals, I do not think
that Congress should enact a
law which will assure the
enemy that in the future he
can use these sanctuaries
without fear of attack from
American forces.
In saying these things, I
recognize that there are divi
sions in this country over
this war and its conduct Even
so, in my judgment we risk
a constitutional crisis if Con
gress seeks to usurp the
power of the President to di
rect our military forces in
battle as commander-in-chief.

Hays To Head
Everett Drive
J. Bradford Hays, a native
of Oklahoma, who managed
President Nixon’s campaign in
1906 in the 13 southern states,
is campaign manager for R.
Frank Everett’s race tor Con
gress.
Commenting on the ap
pointment of Hays as his
campaign manager, Everett
stated “that he was quite flat
tered to have a man of this
stature running his campaign
and, of course, this would not
have been possible, except for
the help from the National
Republican Party as ilvell as
the White House.”
Everett further stated “that
he had been quite happy with
his prospects for winning in
November and now with the
First Congressional District
being one of the target dis
tricts to be taken by the Re
publicans he feels more as
sured of victory.”
Elaborating on the same
theme, Hays stated “that the
Republican National Cam
paign Committee thinks that
R. Frank Everett can be
elected and that is the rea
son I am here. We are de- |
veloping a fully staffed cam
paign committee and are go
ing to be running hard
throughout the district until
election time in November."
It may be dangerous to
have a great amount of I
money, but, personally, we
have decided, if the occasion
presents itself, we will try to
be brave and risk it.
