...What troubled its members-including some longtime supporters of the Administration's policy-was the fact that Johnson was preparing to act without so much as a by-your-leave from Congress. "I think it would be a mistake," declared Bobby Kennedy, "for the President to take a step towards escalation of the conflict without having the support and understanding of the Senate and of the American people." The chief issue, said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman J. William Fulbright, is "the authority of the Administration to expand the war without the consent of Congress and without any debate...
...Unless the Federal Government and the state government step in and help, I doubt very much whether there is any kind of a future for the city of Newark."

Though the Treasury and White House Press Secretary George Christian reaffirmed the obviously firm U.S. intention of continuing to sell gold at $35 an oz., the rush only quickened at week's end. Bullion dealers reported that hoarders and speculators from all over the world...
