following the establishment of an internationally supervised cease-fire throughout Indochina and the return of all American prisoners of war and an accounting of Americans missing in action in Indochina a complete withdrawal of all American forces from Vietnam shall be accomplished" The committee did not vote directly on the end-the-war resolution but rather on proposal Democrats had drafted language beyond a mere sense of Congress resolution that would have ordered a total U2 military withdrawal from Indochina by Oct 1 subject only to a release of prisoners an accounting of the missing and the safe departure of remaining American troops Before today's closed session of the committee administration critics had agreed to include a provision to provide a limited ceasefire between U2 and Communist forces They felt their mate opposition would come in the form of amendment by Rep Clement Zablocki D-Wis to allow the President to decide what kind of ceasefire he would insist upon But soon as the resolution came before the committee Buchanan offered his proposal as a substitute amendment It was adopted 19-18 with 14 Republicans and 5 Democrats supporting it and 16
