AMERICANS MISSING IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

_Juiy is, 1979 _ [H. Con. Res. 10]

Whereas approximately twenty-three hundred Americans remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia since the cessation of the Vietnam conflict; and Whereas learning the fate of those American servicemen and civilians listed as missing remains of utmost importance to the United States, and is considered as such during the negotiations between the United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; and Whereas the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted Resolution 3220 (XXIX) calling for assistance and cooperation in accounting for persons who are missing or dead in armed conflicts; and Whereas such resolution recognized "that one of the tragic results of armed conflicts is the lack of information on persons—civilians as well as combatants—who are missing or dead in armed conflicts"; and Whereas such resolution further states that "the desire to know the fate of loved ones lost in armed conflicts is a basic human need which should be satisfied to the greatest extent possible, and that provision of information on those who are missing or who have died in armed conflicts should not be delayed merely because other issues remain pending"; and Whereas the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, despite assurances that it is conducting an extensive search for Americans listed as missing and for information that might indicate their fate, has provided but meager information concerning the fate of these missing Americans; and Whereas present efforts to secure a full accounting of these Americans listed as missing are not productive and are ill-served by existing procedures and institutional frameworks: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring). That it is the sense of Congress that the President should instruct the U.N. special Secretary of State to seek the good offices of the Secretary General of investigatory commission.
