On the recordApril 28, 1998
I want to compliment and commend the Senator from Texas, Senator Hutchison, for her cooperation and support as we worked together to craft this amendment. This is a very, very important amendment, which I will get into in a moment, regarding the cooperation of these new NATO nations--if they were to become NATO nations--that would require their full cooperation with the United States in order to obtain the fullest possible accounting of any military personnel missing from any of the wars, from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, to the cold war. This amendment is supported by a number of veterans organizations-- Vietnam Veterans of America, National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition, MIA Families, Korean/Cold War Family Association, National League of POW/MIA families.
