The chamber did however approve by a 94-0 Vole an amendment by Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole r.-kan., that would reaffirm Reagan s authority to do whatever the president deems necessary to protect . Servicemen and ships in the Gulf. The 54-44 vote to delay a decision followed a Day of confusing parliamentary Maneu vers and votes in which the democratic controlled chamber first decided by a 51-47 margin to kill the Resolution then re versed itself to think the Senate looks simply terrible Senate majority Leader Robert Byrd d-w.va., a co sponsor of the Resolution said in criticizing the chamber s Pas inaction. This Resolution is a pragmatic Way to express our we can continue to Duck the Issue we can continue to pull our hair we can continue to castigate the president said Byrd or we can step up to our the Resolution passed and sent to the House seeks detailed report from Reagan within 30 Days after the measure becomes Law answering a variety of question about his policy of re flagging ii kuwaiti tankers and escorting them with Navy ships in the War torn Gulf. Thirty Days after the report was submitted Accord ing to the Resolution the Senate would have to vote Oil her approval or disapproval of Reagan s policy. This would mean a vote in mid january said Byrd. The 60-Day period in the Resolution would not begin until after the measure becomes Law. That would Only be after the House passes the Bill and if Reagan were to sign it into Law thus the 60-Day period would t Likely begin until at least several week from now at the earliest. At one Point. Sen. David Pryor d-ark., stood an told his colleagues what we Are doing is confusing it s difficult to figure out what we Are voting Pryor s statement was on the general Issue of Senate efforts to respond to Reagan s policy but it was representative of comments by other senators As they tried to untangle i he snarled parliamentary tactics. The Senate has struggled for months to agree on How to involve itself in Reagan s Gulf policy Ever since the May 17 iraqi missile attack on the frigate Stark killed37 . Seamen. Reagan has refused to invoke the War Powers act the 1973 Law that limits a president s authority to com Mit troops to situations of imminent danger. That Law requires a presidential report 48 hours after the troops Are sent and under some circumstances they would have to be withdrawn within 60 Days unless Congress approves their deployment. Reagan As have his predecessors argues that the War Powers Law is unconstitutional and he also con tends that it docs not apply to the current situation. The administration says it does t object to the pro vision in the act requiring the president to notify con Gross of military action but it disputes the provision Hal allows Congress to Force the president to withdraw troops.
