Tonkin Resolution allowed Johnson to make more war decisions with less need for congressional approval. This was done under the conception that we were winning the war.

This is after the Vietnamese had been controlled by a number of nations. He even said his speech with notes from the Declaration of Independence.

It was signed in Paris, hence the name.

The Pentagon Papers, which was officially titled "Report of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Vietnam Task Force", detailed the history of the U.S. in Vietnam. They were released in June of 1971. This was a complete overview of the involvement of the United States in Vietnam.
