Asia. Consonant with the Constitution of the United States and the Charter of
the United Nations and in accordance with its obligations under the Southeast

the President determines, to take all necessary steps, including the use of
armed force, to assist any member or protocol state of the Southeast Asia
Collective Defense Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom.

conditions created by action of the United Nations or otherwise, except that it
may be terminated earlier by concurrent resolution of the Congress.
