Why U S secrecy over Laos air war questioned
In his first day as defense secretary, Elliot L. Richardson questioned why the United States keeps its Laos air war secret. He said details should be shared, but acknowledged White House and Henry Kissinger involvement may prevent disclosure. Meanwhile, 800 POWs await return and news reporters are barred from interviewing them on arrival. The Pentagon cites welfare and Hanoi’s remaining POWs as reasons.
