Members of the families of three Vietnam war soldiers named missing in action by the Pentagon held a news conference at the National Press Club and announced their support for S. 82, legislation which would create a Senate Select committee to oversee the investigations of MIA-POWs claims from the Vietnam war by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The family members discussed the investigations conducted by the DIA into their MIA-POW claims and their own investigations into their relatives' whereabouts. In July 1991, a former POW from the Vietnam war made public a photograph of three men he claimed were U.S. servicemen from the Vietnam war who were being held as MIA-POWs in Vietnam. The dispute over whether the photograph is genuine has rekindled efforts to investigate the conduct of the Department of Defense in searching for MIA-POWs from the Vietnam war. close
