Secretary of State Dean Rusk Friday challenged Senate critics of President Johnson's Viet Nam policy to a new role on the 1964 resolution under which the Chief Executive has been pursuing the war.

Rusk said he had no doubt of the outcome of such a vote. The secretary appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's hearings into the U.S. role in the war. He told the senators "there are moments when toughness is absolutely essential for peace." Rusk's testimony was marked by a clash with the panel's chairman, Sen. J.
