Large Number 1 prisoner exchange prompts reciprocal gesture
United States plans to release a large group of North Vietnamese prisoners to prompt Hanoi to free more American personnel. State Department officials say arrangements are underway for a broad exchange in international waters near the Gulf of Tonkin. North Vietnam has released some U.S. prisoners in past exchanges, but cooperation has been uneven. Officials estimate over 680 American personnel remain missing or captured in North Vietnam, with momentum growing after three more airmen were released and returned to the United States.
