Additionally, in 1951 a Congressonal Resolution calling for strenghtening the United Nations so as to have powers essential to the enactment, interpretation and enforcement of world law was supported by 115 members of Congress including two future presidents, Kennedy and Ford, and a future Secretary of State, Christian Herter.
