...Dole, 46. After last week, none of his colleagues doubts that he is. Seeking to seize the initiative on the peace issue, the Kansas conservative pulled off a legislative coup that left the Democrats dumbfounded. Aware that Senators J. William Fulbright and Charles Mathias were planning to propose the repeal of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, he stole the issue out from under the doves by offering it himself.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has reported Charles Mathias' resolution to repeal the Gulf of Tonkin resolution and is bringing it to the Senate floor this week. Oregon's Mark Hatfield and South Dakota's George McGovern are pushing for an amendment that would cut off military authorizations for Cambodia immediately, and for South Viet Nam by the end of 1970. Chances for that measure seem slim. More likely to pass next week is an amendment that would cut off funds for the Cambodian...
