The Senate Select POW/MIA Affairs Committee assessed efforts to account for missing U.S. servicemen. It sought to account for discrepancies in POW accounting and pursued charges that the U.S. government may have misled American families as to the status of prisoners of war. Senator John Kerry, (D) Massachusetts who chairs the committee, believes that as many as 133 American servicemen were left behind when U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam in 1973 when North Vietnam claimed that it had returned all American prisoners of war. close
