The events of the past week have brought to mind the shocking and tragic fact that today nearly 2.500 U.S. servicemen remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. Since August 1978. neither the Vietnamese nor the Laotians have responded with any further accounting of our missing. Also. since that time. countless hours of testimony have been taken from refugees claiming to have seen American captives alive since 1975. The Defense Intelligence Agency has been checking out hundreds of "live sighting" reports. some as recent as 1980. U.S. intelligence analysts are convinced that the remains of more than 400 U.S. servicemen were being held in a former prison camp in Hanoi known to our POWs as the plantation.
