I called for a new and historic chapter in United StatesVietnam relations. one of regular official contacts. increased tourism. and growing economic and humanitarian cooperation. That was 5 years ago. Since then. President Bush chipped away at isolationism. albeit cautiously. The President rightfully recognized that its not easy to reverse 13 years of isolation with the stroke of a pen or handshake. This is particularly true given the emotional feelings millions of Americans have toward this remote region. whether they are veterans. family and friends of fallen or missing veterans. or refugees from Vietnam. To his credit. President Bush made great strides in advancing United StatesVietnam relations.
