More recently. he served his country as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Vessey is a very fitting choice for the important mission of conducting talks with the Vietnamese Government over the issue of POWs and MIAs. He will also conduct important talks on issues relating to resettlement of Amerasians still in Vietnam. the release of political prisoners in Vietnamese reeducation camps. the rejuvenation of emigration procedures for Vietnamese who wish to leave their country through the orderly departure program. and other humanitarian issues. I am pleased that the President has decided to appoint General Vessey as his Special Presidential Emissary for POW/MIA affairs. But I wonder why it has taken the President 6 years to appoint a personal representative to deal with this issue. 6 years is a long time.
