On August 7, 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (formally the Southeast Asia Resolution) with 98-2 votes in the Senate and unanimously in the House. The resolution authorized the President to take "all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression."
