U S and Vietnam edge toward MIA talks
After six months of exchanges, the United States and Vietnam move toward preliminary talks on normalizing relations. Officials say the aim is a full accounting of 800 U S servicemen listed as missing in action in Vietnam and to avoid a sterile debate while testing the waters in Paris meetings. Carter urged aggressive action, criticizing Ford's stance on an MIA fact finding commission. Talks have produced seven notes since April with no face to face meetings since the Paris peace accord.
