In both houses of Congress, legislation is initiated to forbid U.S. military support of any South Vietnamese invasion of North Vietnam without congressional approval. This legislation was a result of the controversy that arose after the invasion of Laos by South Vietnamese forces in Operation Lam Son 719. On February 8, South Vietnamese forces had launched a major cross-border operation into Laos to interdict the Ho Chi Minh Trail and destroy the North Vietnamese supply dumps in the area.
Although the only direct U.S. support permitted was long-range cross-border artillery fire from firebases in South Vietnam, fixed-wind air strikes, and 2,600 helicopters to airlift Saigon troops and supplies, President Richard Nixon’s critics condemned the invasion. Foreign Relations Committee chairman Senator J. William Fulbright (D-Arkansas) declared the Laotian invasion illegal under the terms of the repeal of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which allowed the president only the mandate to end the war.

Can You Believe It?Neighborhood uses hairdryers to deter speeding drivers
Residents of a neighborhood in Scotland have armed themselves with hairdryers and reflective vests to combat speeding drivers.
People in the village of Hopeman posed as police officers using speed guns to prevent speedy drivers, who have placed residents in danger by exceeding speeds of 60 miles per hour along a stretch of road leading out of the area. "It's very dangerous, the speed that the traffic is doing through Hopeman is quite serious, especially when the kids are going to school in the morning - it's quite alarming," Moray councilor Dennis Slater told the BBC. "This is why some of the residents have resorted to taking out hairdryers and putting on hi-vis vests to try to slow the traffic down." Members of the neighborhood have also taken other strange measures, such as propping ladders against walls to allow children to pass between back gardens rather than cross the dangerous straightaway. "The main worry is crossing the road. It's the main busy road through Hopeman and people just don't slow down when they enter the village," resident Carmen Gillies said. "It might all sound like a joke but these are the sorts of lengths we have to go to to make sure our children are safe." While residents continue their police impersonation, the actual police have said they are aware of the issue and are working on a solution. "We have had a number of complaints regarding speeding in Hopeman, which we will continue to address," Lossiemouth police Constable Roy Cook said. "Offenders will be dealt with by either warnings, the offer of a fixed penalty or a report to the Procurator Fiscal." Youth Health...New Hygiene Treatment For Dry Eye

Black Balloon Overdose Awareness Day
Please hang a Black Balloon outside of your home or business to show awareness for all the ones we have lost to addiction. This is a sign that you have been affected by drug addiction or an overdose death. It is a sign that we are all in this together! This is the second annual event, last year it was a huge success with over 40,000 participants. The Addicts Mom supports this event. If people know of this event, statistics, unfortunately tell me there would be well over 40,000 balloons in PA. alone. East Bangor UMC Lenten Bible Study The East Bangor United Methodist Community Church is offering a Lenten Bible Study, "The Seedy Side of Jacob". We all know Jacob, the highly-regarded patriarch of the Israelites. From Jacob came the offspring who became "The Twelve Tribes of Israel," who were the foundation of the Jewish movement. Jacob was, and is, highly revered. He was also human - very human. And in his humanness his quest for power and authority often got in the way of his decision-making process. During Lent, we will take a look at the less-than-admirable side of Jacob in the quest to embrace our own humanity and seek alternatives to accomplishing God's will without resorting to cleverness and self-centeredness. The sessions will be held on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. from March 6 - April 3. For more info. call 610-588-4453, or visit www.ebumc.org.
