Amendment to what? edit

What did this "amendment" amend? --Doradus (talk) 02:45, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

That is a good question. If I had time, I would try to work on this. Suggest looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGovern-Hatfield_Amendment for template. It answers the question: what did it amend? It also provides the text of the amendment and some context - speeches by sponsors.--75.151.46.161 (talk) 16:29, 21 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please note that the vote totals listed are for passage of the entire resolution, and not for the amendment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.147.173.170 (talk) 16:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

"Combat operations" edit

It is true that Rowley treats the airlift to Cambodia after August 15, 1973, as if it were a form of "combat operations," but Rowley was being careless and inaccurate in his phrasing. Delivery of food and munitions to Pochentong Airport on cargo planes was not what is normally called combat operations, and the Congress did not consider it so. The Senators and Representatives who had forbidden combat operations continued to appropriate US government funds to pay for the airlift. Ed Moise (talk) 21:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
