Senator Sam Ervin Says:
WASHINGTON After a
seven-week debate on U. S.
Southeast Asia policies, the
Senate has passed far-reach
ing amendments to the For
eign Military Sales Act These
amendments include the re
peal of the 1964 Gulf of Ton
kin Resolution and the adop
tion of the Cooper-Church
Amendment.
While the Senate actions on
this bill are still subject to
House approval, if that ap
proval occurs it could present
us with a constitutional quan
dary which is without prece
dent in our nation’s history.
I say this because it was a
most surprising development
that the President sought to
defeat the Cooper - Church
Amendment which merely
undertakes to put limits upon
his power to wage war in
Cambodia and Laos, and then
later appeared to sanction
the proposal to repeal the
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
which would not only take
away his power to act in Cam
bodia and Laos, but also take
away his power to act in
South Vietnam.
For the Gulf of Tonkin
Resolution gives the President
the authority to act as Com
mander in Chief in Southeast
Asia with the power to com

In my judgment, the United
States has no power apart
from the Gulf of Tonkin
Resolution to be engaged in
armed aggressive attacks in
Southeast Asia. When the
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was
passed, it was, as I contended
on the floor of the Senate
some time ago, tantamount to
a declaration of war.
That resolution expressly
states that the President may
use the Armed Forces of the
United States to resist ag
gression from North Vietnam.
It was under that power that
the SEA TO Treaty obligation
was accepted by the United
States. It was under that
power that the United States
undertook to wage war in
Southeast Asia. It was the
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
which gave the President the
power as Commander in
Chief to invade the sanctu
aries in Cambodia.
I do not know what the
position of our boys in South
east Asia will be if we repeal
the Gulf of Tonkin: Resolu
tion, because the President of
the United States has no pow
er whatsoever to act as Com
mander in Chief in that part
of the world with the excep
tion of withdrawing the troops
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1979.
if this repeal carries. I there
fore opposed repeal of the
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution at
this time because I believe
such action would make ob
scure the powers of the
President as Commander in
Chief in Southeast Asia end
his powers as such to protect
the lives of our men in
South Vietnam. I see no
good in making these powers
obscure.
Moreover, I voted against
the Cooper - Church Amend
ment because I think it would
be tragic for our boys in
South Vietnam to be inform
ed that it is the sense of the
Senate that the enemy can
occupy sanetuaries in Cam
bodia and issue forth from
those sanctuaries into South
Vietnam to kill and maim
them, and that they cannot
enter those sanctuaries even
to save themselves from de
struction unless Congress
passes another law on the
subject.
There can be no doubt of
the fact that our involvement
in Vietnam is one of the most
tragic experiences that this
country has ever had. But
unfortunately, the Senate’s
efforts to repeal the Gulf of
Tonkin Resolution and its
subsequent adoption of the
Cooper - Church Amendment
only gives assurance to our
enemies that it is not neces
sary for them to attempt to
negotiate a settlement be
cause we will abandon the
field to them very soon.
1 have favored the Presi
dent’s program that we
should try to negotiate a set
tlement at Paris, or on failure
thereof that we should train
the South Vietnamese so that
they can defend their own
land or have a reasonable
hope of so doing while we
gradually withdraw our forces
from South Vietnam. But, ; n
my .judgment, Congressional
adoption of the amendments
mentioned above would cast
a cloud of doubt about the
authority of the President to
take appropriate steps to se
cure an honorable end to our
involvement in Southeast
Asia.

CREATION, GOO'S HANDIWORK
International Sunday School Lesson for July 12
Memory Selection: “The earth is the Lord’s,
and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that
dwell therein.”—Psalm 24:1.
Lesson Text: Genesis 1-2; Isaiah 4.-12, 21-28.
Just as our Memory Verse states, God created
the world, and all that inhabits it It, and we,
are all a part of His eternal purpose. We have
our roles to play, and how we play them will
either add or subtract from that purpose.
For mankind is God’s highest creation. We
were created in His image; we were given a
brain with which to reason, a Soul to guide us
throughout our existence. We were given the
gift of choice.
God’s gifts to man are many. The gift of
sight, with which to observe His handiwork, the
beauties which He has wrought; the gift of
sound, with which we can appreciate a bird’s
silver notes, the cadences of a dearly loved
voice; the gift of touch, with which to appreci
ate the softness of a newly opened petal, the
smoothness of a baby’s trusting hand—so many
gr/ts which we take, too often, for granted.
We cannot fail to be impressed—if we will
but take a moment to pause from our headlong
flight through day after day —by the orderly
progress of the Universe. The passing of the
seasons, the flow of the tides in the ocean, regu
lated and controlled by something beyond our
ken—these are wonders in the midst of which
God has chosen to place mankind.
And just as a tree unfolds, flowers and comes
to fruition within its own particular cycle, so
is man, within the framework of the universe,
intended to come to his flowering.
Just as the trees did not grow, nor the herbs
appear until the rains came and sparked the life
that lay dormant within the seed, did man
evolve to complete entity until the advent of
God within him. Until the advent of Christ
bought for him with the spilling of His blood
forgiveness of sins and the promise of life ever
lasting.
For it is within our faith that we grow to
fulfillment of the best that is in us. It is within
our faith that we come to at least some under
standing of that of which we are capable. It is
through striving to walk in the footsteps of
Christ that we learn the meaning of true pati
ence and humility, of forgiveness of wrongs
which are done unto us. Through Him we can
attain a strength of which we never dreamed
we were capable.
Just as God provided abundantly for man’s
physical needs, so He provided abundantly for
his spiritual needs. The tree of life and the
tree of knowledge are symbolic of man’s moral
and spiritual nature.
Every life needs a sense of direction. To the
truly devout Christian, God is the direction in
which man must traveL And that way is clearly
defined within the pages of the Bihle, It is not
always an easy path to follow, for man is, by

and CRDGEIS
One thing remains individual. There's no "dial-a-matic"
gadget for God, no pushbutton gimmick. Man's search for
meaning in his life is still his own responsibility.
, When man only dreamed of flying and the fastest way
to travel was by horseback, God's Church was the source
of all goodness and joy. It's no different today. In a world
where man races for the stars, the Church remains the
well-spring of truth.
Attend your church. Find faith and the good life.
