Pentagon urges private POW appeals to North Vietnam
Defense officials report the Pentagon informed about 3000 families of captured or missing servicemen that Hanoi may respond to private letters. The move aims to keep relatives updated, not pressure Paris talks, though officials acknowledge risk of propaganda. Hanoi may accept inquiries, pass questions to Hanoi, then forward responses to families. No replies were reported yet from the wives who initiated contact.
