The committee heard testimony on the issue of whether American servicemen were left alive in capitivity in North Vietnam after a prisoner-of-war exchange in Vietnam in 1973, when the war was winding down. Sen. Kerry, chairman of the committee, claimed as many as 133 U.S. soldiers were left in North Vietnam after the war. The committee sought to learn whether the U.S. government and military were aware that U.S. servicemen had been left alive in Vietnam and the military’s efforts to recover them. close
