When the Security Council met on 8 June, it heard reports from the Secretary General. Spain introduced a resolution condemning Israel for its invasion and threatening sanctions. An American team, headed by Vice President Bush recommended that the U.S. vote in favor and requested instructions from the President who was dining with the Queen of England in Windsor Castle. Secretary of State Haig was able to overturn this recommendation and the U.S. vetoed the resolution. Text:
