Organization pact, authorizing any or all of its eight members to resist aggression against the nations under its protective umbrella, including South Viet Nam. Referring to the Senate's 82-to-l consent to the treaty in 1955, Rusk gently reminded them: "All members of this distinguished committee who were then Senators voted for that treaty...
