Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from U. S. Policy Toward Vietnam: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs of the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, July 21, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:08 a.m., in room SD-419, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Charles S. Robb (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Robb, Kerry, Feingold, Mathews, Murkowski, Lugar, and Pressler. Also Present: Senator Kerrey. Senator Robb. The committee will come to order. This morning the East Asian and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee is pleased to hear the views of fellow Senators, veterans, policymakers, relatives of missing servicemen, U.S. businesses, and Vietnamese Americans. All have a valuable contribution to make as we begin to plant the seeds of a new relationship with Vietnam. In 1993 the last wounds of the Vietnam war appear to be healing. Progress on the POW/MIA issue, once defined in years, now moves forward almost daily. The President´s decision 3 weeks ago to allow Vietnam to clear its arrears at the IMF and eventually receive international loans marks the beginning of Vietnam´s reintegration into the community of nations. Coming to closure on the POW/MIA question now is the sole remaining impediment to our starting anew with Vietnam and laying the war to rest. The Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, of which I was a member, examined this issue in excruciating detail last year. I credit our first witness this morning, Senator John Kerry, for his painstaking effort as chairman of that committee in running down every lead to insure that the U.S. Government was meeting its obligation to determine the fate of our POW´s and MIA´s. Briefly, let me frame the issues as I see them today. First, what constitutes the, "fullest possible accounting of missing American servicemen in Southeast Asia?" The Joint Task Force Full Accounting has described a number of areas where we have concerns about POW´s and MIA´s, but at issue is how much blood can we get from a stone? General Vessey notes that it could take decades to retrieve every shred of evidence and artifact. Short of that, when will we have the confidence to proceed with normal relations assured that we have fulfilled our obligation to determine, as best we can, the fate of American servicemen who are missing?
