The Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs heard testimony from the former secretary of state during the second day of hearings on the government’s investigation into missing American Servicemen at the end of the Vietnam War. The previous day, members of the Nixon administration testified that the U.S. knew North Vietnam had not accounted for missing Servicemen at the time of the Paris Peace Accords, but the U.S. lacked sufficient bargaining power at the negotiating table to press the issue. Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State, Nixon Administration testified that the claim the U.S. knew of missing Servicemen were left behind in Vietnam was “a flat out lie.” He did state he recognized at the time of the peace negotiations that North Vietnam had not sufficiently accounted for missing U.S. Servicemen and said it was possible that some U.S. soldiers lived and were left behind after the American withdrawal from Vietnam. close
