Begin sustained bombing of North Vietnam.

Explanation:

On August 7, 1964, Congress declared the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, allowing President Johnson to take any steps he thought were important to counter and to encourage the preservation of international peace and protection in southeast Asia. North Vietnamese army torpedo boats bombed the USS Maddox while the warship was in international waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. There is no denying that truth.
