War Hluino Argued Dole, Mansfield and Sen. J. Fulbright, argued over whether the amendment sought to place blame for Ihe war. "J'm not shifting the blame to anyone," Fulbright insisted. "All I want to do is stop the war." Hut Dole said, ''what we do effectively undercuts the President." Passage of the amendment followed three hours of snouted nKOS across the center aisle and public confessions of guilt for the war and its casualties.

"We are all to blame," said Sen. John Pastore, D-R. I. "But this is the last clear chance we have to stop this tragic war."

involvement in Indochina "as soon as practicable." In the meantime, it lead to a lengthy delay in final enactment of the big arms bill, one of Ihe measures that must: be passed before Congress can go home this year. Mansfield has expressed hope the House will accept the amendment this time. "It would depend on what amount ot sentiment has been generated in its favor since last time," Ihe Montana Democrat told reporters. Scott called the amendment "a waste of time" and said "I don't think Congress by this method can terminate this war and I thinlc the Congress knows i It full well."
