 Occasionally the Senate has passed resolutions in advance of signature authorizing the President to enter into a treaty as particularly described in the resolution.
 Since, there the initiation of treaty negotiation, the negotia- ton of Its terms. the framing of its provision, its signature, and the final act of ratification are per- formed only by the President and without any control by the Senate, all resting entirely in his discretion, 1t seems clear that the senatorial advice and consent may be given to @ general treaty plan and that the President conforming to such plan in hsi negotiation of Q treaty such treaty may be legally pro- claimed by him without the neces. sity of putting the signed doucment before the Senate for its final con- sideration."
