Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Accounting for Pow/Mia's From the Korean War and the Vietnam War: Hearing Before the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the Committee on National Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session; Hearing Held September 17, 1996
Obviously, there is much media attention to today's hearing. I've lost track of how many hearings we've had in the last year and 10 months. But there should be media attention to this because, in the Korean aspect of it, there was precious little media attention or fol low-through on the hundreds of Americans that I'm convinced we left behind at the end of America's first stalemated, no-win war.
During the past 20 months of the 104th Congress, I have con ducted a series of Military Personnel Subcommittee hearings in order to provide effective congressional oversight of the process of seeking the fullest possible accounting of American combatants who remain missing in action. It has been my intention throughout all of this to work in partnership with the Defense Department and the State Department, to bring an honest closure for hundreds of families who have not broken faith with their missing loved ones, the heroes of their lives.
