     SEC. 1291. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO DECLARATIONS OF 
                   WAR.

       It is the sense of Congress that Article 5 of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty, done at Washington, DC, April 4, 1949, does 
     not supersede the constitutional requirement that Congress 
     declare war before the United States engages in war.
