Berryman comments on the irony of two Republicans, Senators Robert A. Taft and John Foster Dulles, arguing on the North Atlantic Treaty while the two top party leaders, Democratic Senator Thomas T. Connally and Republican Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, agree on the issue. The North Atlantic Treaty passes the U.S. Senate on July 21, 1949 with a vote of 82 to 13. It was a defense agreement which laid the foundation for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This was a mutual defense pact involving the United States, Great Britain, France, and Canada.
