C. - The total self-interest of the United States should govern her actions in all foreign affairs." "Should decisions on the actual execution of policy be left to the Congress, there would likely be as many different approaches to every question as there are Members, each believing that whatever he espouses is in our own 'self-interest'. Essentially this is the core of the present debate in the United States Senate."
