President Johnson applauded the action-and the Senate's over- whelming decision to uphold a res- olution supporting his authority to wage with American fo;'ces the battle against Communists in Southeast Asia. As Johnson aimed a new peace appeal at North Viet Nam, the great congressional debate about his Asian policy erupted into ac- tion on both sides of the Capitol. House Approval 4L First came a House vote, 392- 4, approving the war money meas- ure. The Senate turned down a bid by Sen; Wayne Morse (D-Ore) to repeal the resolution which stamp- ed congressional approval on the use of American force in South- east Asia. That vote was 92-5. Morse sought repeal of the Aug. 10, 1964, resolution in an amend- ment to the money bill. He in- sisted the money measure would mean escalation of the Asian struggle. Then, after rejecting a proposal w that.would have barred the use. of draftees in the, Vietnamese war, the Senate passed the money measure, 93-2. There are minor differences be- tween the Senate bill and the House measure, which authorizes $49 million more than Johnson 4 sought. They will be reconciled before the bill goes to Johnson. Congress still must appropriate the money. Approval "The President welcomes, and our fighting men and allies will greatly approve, the congression- al actions of today," said White House press secretary Bill D. Moy- ers. Moyers said Johnson believes the Senate acted responsibly in re- jecting the motion of Sen.. Morse to rescind the Viet Nam resolution Congress adopted 19 months ago, after Communist gunboats r ttack- ed American warships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The White House-in an appar- ent rebuttal to congressional crit- ics who forecast escalation of the war-renewed this Johnson dec- laration: "Our measures use of force must be continued, but this is prudent firmness under careful control." The congressional action came within two hours-after two weeks of argument in the Senate, Cock- pit of the debate that has swirl- ed around Vietnamese policy since Congress reconvened. Only Morse and Sen. Ernest B. Gruening (D - Alaska) v o t e d against the war spending bill. They were joined by three other Senate Democrats in voting for repeal of the resolution.
