Summary

Expressed the sense of the Congress that new efforts should be made by the Government of the United States through appropriate diplomatic and international channels to persuade the Government of the Democratic Republic Vietnam, the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam, and the Lao Patriotic Front to comply with their obligations with respect to personnel captured or killed during the Vietnam conflict and with respect to personnel still in a missing status; that every effort should be made to obtain the cooperation of the various parties to the conflict in Cambodia in providing information with respect to personnel missing in Cambodia; and that further efforts should be made to obtain necessary cooperation for search teams to inspect crash sites and other locations where personnel may have been lost. Declares that the Government of the United States should use every effort to bring about such reciprocal actions by the parties to the peace agreements, including the Government of the Republic of Vietnam and the Royal Lao Government, as will be most likely to bring an end to the abhorrent conduct of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam, and the Lao Patriotic Front regarding the missing in action. Declares the Congress's support and sympathy for the families and loved ones of the Americans missing in action, who have suffered such deep human anguish for so long due to the undisclosed fate of the missing in action.
