Perot claims proof of POWs left behind in Vietnam
Ross Perot testified before Senate investigators that he can prove American prisoners were left behind after the Vietnam conflict and accused officials of a cover‑up. He suggested POWs from Laos covert operations may have survived, challenging the official stance on ground troops. The same session confirmed talks with Vietnam over deals tied to reconstruction aid. The Senate then approved a family leave bill, sending it to the House, setting up a Bush veto fight. The measure would grant up to 12 weeks unpaid leave for new birth or adoption or serious illness, with various exemptions and job protections.
