1973: US Senate votes to stop Cambodia bombing (By the way, by this time, no more ground involvment for the US.)
The US Senate has voted by 69 to 19 to cut off funds for the bombing of Cambodia.

The bill was sponsored by Democrat Senator Thomas Eagleton and supported by many liberal Republicans.

The only way to face up to our responsibilities, the only way to do it effectively is to cut the purse strings


Mike Mansfield, Senate majority leader:
"Large sections of the American people are opposed to the bombing of Cambodia. Their views have been reflected today by senators who believe they can stop the war by holding back funds. "

The Senate majority leader, Mike Mansfield, said: "The only way to face up to our responsibilities, the only way to do it effectively is to cut the purse strings."

There is also pressure to end the civil war in Cambodia from China -currently home to Prince Norodom Sihanouk, former leader of Cambodia deposed in a military coup three years ago.

The move is a serious blow to President Richard Nixon's South-East Asia policy and follows a similar resolution voted in by the House of Representatives on 10 May.

The president's special adviser, Dr Henry Kissinger, had pleaded with the senate not to rebel against the government while he was still trying to negotiate a lasting settlement in Indo-China.

He said if the communists in Vietnam realised there were divisions in Congress, he would find it impossible to hold them to the terms of the 28 January ceasefire.

But it seems his argument held little sway with Congress.
