Hanoi invited four members of a U.S. congressional delegation to make on-site investigations of reports that American prisoners of war are still being held in Vietnam, Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.) said. He said the invitation was extended by Vietnamese Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach and included three other congressmen. DeConcini and the other three, Sen. Frank H. Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Reps. Michael Bilirakis (R-Fla.) and Bob McEwen (R-Ohio), said they will take up the offer. Before going to Laos, the four visited Hanoi for talks on U.S. servicemen missing in action from the Vietnam War.
