Abstract. This article analyzes resolution number 239, which was proposed by the Senator Vandenberg and enabled the United States to participate in regional security organizations outside the Americas despite the "farewell speech" by George Washington and "Monroe Doctrine". The paper notes that the authority of Arthur Vandenberg, the Senator from the Republican Party, in many ways played a crucial role in the decision made by the US Senate. The conclusion is that without Vandenberg’s resolution Harry Truman and his administration would have had more difficulties with the issue of ratification of the Treaty on Establishment of the NATO by the Senate.
