I am writing in response to my friend Louis Fisher's piece (89 AJIL 21 (1995)) on the legality of President Truman's commitment of troops to hostilities in Korea without specific statutory authorization. He makes a persuasive case; however, I believe there is at least equally compelling evidence for a very different conclusion. My full response will soon appear elsewhere,1 but a few brief observations may be of interest to your readers.
