House Panel Says No American POWs Still Held In Indochina
A House select committee concluded no Americans remain held prisoners in Indochina. About 2,500 Americans were unaccounted for after the war, with 728 listed missing and 33 as prisoners. The panel urged Pentagon case reviews to reclassify some missing as killed in action and credited U.S. search efforts for the lower Vietnam era percentages.
