Alsop took under advisement arguments by Tunheim and . Justice department attorney Vincent Garvey re Garding Minnesota s Challenge to the so called Montgomery amendment a Chal Lenge joined by 10 other states. Garvey said Congress was exercising its constitutional authority Over the fed eral Reserve component when it revoked governors veto Power Over foreign assignments. Congress had the Power to create that component and once it did it has authority to regulate it he said. Minnesota s lawsuit contends the amendment sponsored by rep. . Montgomery d-miss., to a Bill signed into Law by president Reagan on nov. 14, unconstitutionally infringes on the right of states to control their militias. The amendment provides that Gover nors May withhold consent for foreign guard assignments Only when the units Are needed for local emergencies.

Tunheim said governors authority Over National guard training missions was found in the militia clause of the . Constitution. But Garvey con tended the Federal government s authority Over the National guard is found in the army clause which he said limits the militia clause. Congress created the National guard in the National defense act of 1933 and gave it a dual role As a Reserve Compo nent of the . Army and air Force Garvey said. Once it created this Federal Reserve component Congress has Power to regu late its training in peace time and in War time Garvey said. In the armed forces Reserve act of 1952, Congress decided not to exercise All of its authority under the army clause and gave governors authority to consent to National guard training mis Sions he said. Congress did not have to give up that authority in the first place Garvey said.
