Answer:

Explanation:

The so-called Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed by Congress on August 7, 1964. It authorized president Lyndon B. Johnson "to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression” by the communists of North Vietnam.
