Authorized the president to deal with threats in Southeast Asia as he saw fit.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (Aug. 1964) gave President Johnson broad authority to use "all necessary measures" to repel attacks and prevent further aggression in Southeast Asia, effectively allowing expanded U.S. military action in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war.
