  August 1992                         ISSUE TWENTY-TWO

A nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to resolving
the POW issue ---

 Dear Members,
       In the last week, there has been a tremendous amount
of progress achieved in the POW issue due to a Senate
Resolution (that passed unanimously) requesting President to
declassify all documents pertaining to our POWs. The
President agreed, and over 1.3 million documents will be
released. One of the first was the "Brooks Documents".
(Refer to article in Newsletter.) As we receive these
documents, we will make them available to our membership.

    My next remarks are about the demonstration by the
family  members while President George Bush addressed the
annual meeting. Declassified documents are now proving that
our government has callously lied to and emotionally abused
these families for years by conducting an unorganized,
underfunded half-rate effort to gain the release of our
POWs. Over 50 family members stood up and yelled "No more
lies", and the President was forced to stop his speech for
five minutes on what a good job he was doing for the POWs.
    As the demonstration continued, he was forced to turn to
Board Member Jeff Donahue who told the President that the
families had had enough lies. No one felt good about
embarrassing the President, but it was long overdue for
the people in this Country to find out the frustrations
that the families have and are enduring. The President's
response was, as I am sure you all know by now, "SHUT UP
AND SIT DOWN!"  How sad that our President could be so
insensitive! He should apologize to the families for that
remark and over 25 years of lies! Remember....Bush  was in
charge of the CIA in 1976!

                   Sincerely,
                   Daniel Wood State Chairman

  REPORT ON THE ANNUAL ALLIANCE OF FAMILIES MEETING....

  I would like to discuss a recent trip that Jim Bauer and I
  made to Washington, DC for the Annual Meeting that was
  hosted by the National Alliance of Families....

  The meeting was open to all activists and family members.
  There were over 500 in Attendance. Guest speakers included
  Senator Bob Smith (R/NH) and Senator John Kerry (D/MA).
  The forum lasted three days and covered those missing from
  World War II, Korea, the Cold War and Vietnam.

  The first speakers were Senators Kerry and Smith: Smith
  received a standing ovation; Kerry did not. Although we
  believe that the Senate Select Committee is doing a good
  job, it could be much better. Senator Smith is definitely
  the driving force behind the Committee's work.

  The Committee has been promised full disclosure of
  documents from all government agencies, according to an
  Executive Order signed by the President on July 22nd. Over
  1.3 million documents are being released.

  The meeting was organized by Dolores Alfond, Ted Sampley,
  Homecoming II, and John Le Boutillier.  Homecoming II and
  the National Forget-Me-Nots of New Jersey financed the
  costs of the meetings.

  At the end of the first meeting, the family members felt
  that it was important to our POWs to stage a demonstration
  when the President addressed the families on July 24th. We
  salute the courage of everyone who participated in this
  show of support for our POWs. It was a hard decision for
  people to make because they are good American citizens who
  are God-fearing and respectful of our Country and its
  institutions, including the Presidency. This was the 23rd.
  National meeting of POW families, and they are sick and
  tired of hearing the President say that the issue is of
  the highest National Priority.

  CONGRATULATIONS and our thanks to the following

  NEW POW EVIDENCE: THE `CLUSTERS'  THEORY....

 Senate investigators have cataloged hundreds of alleged
 sightings of American prisoners of war in Indochina and
 highlighted a dozen "clusters" or locales where there is
 the greatest possibility that POWs were held over long
 periods, according to sources close to the committee
 (related Item, Page 20). Some panel members argue that the
 amount of concentrated evidence from so many unrelated
 sources helps prove that some POWs were not brought home
 after the Vietnam War ended in 1973. But Defense
 Intelligence Agency analysts still in- sist there is no
 evidence to support claims that Americans were left behind.
 Here are the areas deemed most credible by investigators
 for the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs:

 1. Route 19-Mong Khoa. Twelve reports from 1973 to the
mid-80s alleged that five POWs were housed in camps. One
Laotian who told of seeing Americans passed two polygraph
tests but was branded a fabricator by the DIS when he had
trouble with U.S. police after immigrating here.

 2. Son La. Six sightings between 1976 and 1981 from
unrelated sources gave very similar details about a prison
holding between 40 and 70 Americans.

 3. Son Tay. This region held several notorious prison camps
during the war, one of which was the target of a failed
U.S. rescue mission in 1971. There have been several dozen
POW reports since the war.

 4. Hanoi-Ha Dong. Richly detailed sightings have focused on
POWs being held in a prison near Ho Chi Minh's tomb on Ly
Nam De Street in downtown Hanoi over a period of several
years.

 5. Dong Dang-Route 83. One satellite picture in 1975 showed
a "K" -- and Air Force sympbol for "pilot in distress" ---
in Morse Code made out of roof tiles on top of a reputed
prison. Seventeen reports from people in the region put the
prison total at about 40.


 6. Thanh Hoa. Twenty-six sighting reports allegedly put a
handful of Americans here.

 7. Sam Nua. A Jan.22, 1988, satellite photo of a rice paddy
showed the letters "USA" plus a "K" symbol. Ninety-one
reports referred to POWs, ranging from small groups to
groups of more than 100.

 8. Plain of Jars. Hmong tribesman claimed that they saw
small groups of Americans near Route 7.

 9. Nhommarath. The site of a failed search mission in early
1981, this region had 11 reports of American POWs,
satellite photos of a "K" sign, and "52" and a radio
intercept allegedly referring to "American"  prisoners
being transferred to the area.

10. Tchepone-Route 9. About 40 sightings in early 1980s were
made here.

11. Attapu. In the late 1980s, a U.S.-sponsored intelligence
"control source" was sent into this region to check out
several dozen reports of POWs, but his reputed confirmation
of POW camps was rejected as not credible.

12. Pleiku. Sighting reports suggested that Americans were
moved here from northern Vietnam after the Chinese invaded
in 1979.
   The DIA's analysts have dismissed every sighting as
either a fabrication, an unsubstantiated tale or an
otherwise explianable event.

       THE STAR-LEDGER, Tuesday, July 28, 1992
By Sydney Schanberg

THE `WATCHDOG' THAT WON'T BARK...
The Press is complicit in Washington's coverup of Live
POWs....

   One of the reasons why the truth has never been pried
loose about Vietnam MIAs---many of whom were knowingly left
behind by Washington and some of whom are likely still alive
today---has to do with the failure of the nation's key
media organizations to make the missing men a major issue.

   Instead, the prestige press-both the powerhouse
newspapers and the television networks---have largely bought
the government's line. It is a line that, for nearly 20
years, through five presidencies, has wiggled and curved and
snaked every time new evidence has emerged from independent
sources. The magnitude of this Washington coverup borders on
national infamy.

   How does one explain why, with the surfacing of each
fresh clue about living POWs, the government network of
intelligence agencies rises up to smite the clue dead with
an arsenal of those weapons known as smear and
disinformation?

   Example: In the mid-1980s, when Lt. Gen. Eugene Tighe
defied the coverup and said out loud that he believed from
the evidence at his disposal that American servicemen were
still alive in Indochina, his testimony and reports were
censored and sanitized before being made public. The
evidence in Tighe's hands was neither casual nor flimsy; he
was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the
key period toward the end of the Vietnam War and for some
years thereafter. Tighe was not only censored, he was
trashed. When the coverup net- work grew worried that the
views of this widely respected intelligence expert might
reach the press and gain prominence, the smear team was
dispatched. Col. Richard Childress of the National Security
Council, for one, called Monika Jensen-Stevenson, a "60
Minutes" producer who had talked to Tighe, to warn her off
the story. He said, according to Stevenson, that Tighe
"isn't too bright". Senility was suggested.

    Similar defamation campaigns were waged against others
who bucked the government line, such as the highly
decorated Maj. Mark Smith and Sgt. 1st. Class Melvin
McIntyre, former Green Berets assigned to find missing men
in Laos. They said that in 1984 they located three American
prisoners and reached an agreement with the Laotian captors
for their release.
     But, said Smith and McIntyre, their information was
 disowned by their superiors, and no one was sent to the
 agreed pickup point on the Thai-Lao border. For refusing to
 stay silent about this, both men were charged with criminal
 offenses and brought home. They have since been cleared of
 all the charges and are now suing the government to force
 it to produce its files and account for all missing men.
 The disinformation team, Childress included, immediately
 began spreading the word that Smith was a wife-beater and
 that both men had been caught smuggling gold into Thailand.

   Producer Stevenson didn't buy the smear campaign--though
most in the press did. With her husband, William, a writer
with good intelligence sources, she wrote a book called
"Kiss The Boys Goodbye". The book, though by no means a
complete history, if for no other reason than the
government's stonewalling and deceptions, nonetheless
presents a detailed and powerful case. It shows how the
prisoners left behind at the time of the 1973 peach treaty
in Vietnam, though known about, had been negotiated away in
Washington's haste to get out of the war and lift the
shadow of Vietnam off America's psyche. The book also
demonstrates that the likelihood of some of those men being
alive today is very strong.

   "Kiss The Boys Goodbye" was published in hardcover in
1990 and in paperback last year. How many of you have heard
of it? How often have you seen it re- ferred to in
newspapers or on any of the major television networks? I
cannot offer a precise explanation for the press' general
silence except to note that the Pentagon, the State
Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and other covert
operators have all used considerable amounts of their
energies to try to discredit this book. And beyond this, the
press--regrettably a reactor rather than a leader most of
the time---was following the mood in Washington, which was
to erase Vietnam from memory.

     Beyond its implications for the reputations and careers
of those who have led America for the past two decades,
including such as George Bush, the cover- up campaign at the
human level has visited unforgivable cruelty on the families
who believe their men may still be held in Indochina.

   Some have gone frequently to Southeast Asia to search out
information as close to the scene as possible. Occasionally,
they are led astray by local hoaxers and con men selling
fake "evidence". But most of the time the hoaxers are the
men of Washington---who bedevil the families and intimidate
them and jerk them around and warn them that if they talk to
the press, it will impede the government's efforts to get
information. What efforts?

   In response to renewed pressure from these families, the
Bush administration --perhaps because of its vulnerability
in this election year--released a stack of MIA documents.
One of Gen.Tighe's reports, from 1986, was among them; it
said: "There is information...which establishes the strong
possibility of American prisoners of war being held in Laos
and Vietnam."

   Maybe now the national press will finally stand up and
make a committment to dig out this story.

 Daily News, July 9 1992

MARINES ALTER VIET MIA STORY.....By Richard Sisk

    News Washington Bureau Washington--- For 25 years, Pat
Plumadore reluctantly accepted the Pentagon's listing of her
brother. Marine Lance Cpl. Kenneth L. Plumadore, as
"KIA/BNR"---killed in action, body not recovered in Vietnam.

    Then "out of the blue" a letter from the Marine Corps
came to her Syracuse home last month suggesting that he may
have been captured alive. When she tried to find the source
of the information, Plumadore said, the Pentagon told her,
"That's classified."

    The stonewalling left her feeling betrayed yesterday.
She can't understand why the military would cut her off and
neither can her congressman.

"THEY'RE PLAYING GOD"

    "It's not right what they're doing, playing God like
this," Plumadore said. "I'm do damn mad and I feel so
guilty. All these years I could have been doing something,
trying to find out what happened to my brother."

    Rep. James Walsh (R-N.Y.) whose 27th. Congressional
District includes Syracuse, said. "The closer you look at
this case, the more difficult it is to understand.
Everything needs to be declassified in this case."

   The Marine Corps referred questions to the Pentagon's
POW/MIA section, where a spokesman said a meeting was being
arranged with Plumadore later this month to try to answer
her questions.

 MOTHER'S PERMISSION:

   Kenneth Plumadore had to coax his mother into signing his
papers to join the Marines, since he was too young at 17.
After training, he was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 4th.
Marines, in Quang Tri Province in the Demilitarized Zone.

   On Sept. 21, 1967, his unit was forced to withdraw "under
intense hostile fire," leaving Kenneth Plumadore and 14
other Marines behind. On Oct.10, the Marines returned and
recovered the remains of 14 people.

   The family was told at the time that "regrettably, his
(Kenneth's) remains were not among those recovered."

   But last month, Pat Plumadore received a letter from the
Marines that included a report form the Pentagon's Joint
Task Force Full Accounting in Hawaii. The report sated that
"American forces learned that PAVN (People's Army of
Vietnam) forces captured the 15th. individual and took him
away, in the direc- tion of Vinh Linh."

   The report also said that Vietnam returned the remains of
an individual "purportedly captured" in the same firefight,
but it was later learned that "the remains were not those of
Lance Cpl. Plumadore."

   Pat Plumadore said the letter "just came out of the blue.
My mother died not knowing this. With something like this,
I think there should have been some personal contact."

                         ---------------------------

FORCE WAS REJECTED TO FREE POWs... By Deborah Mesce
Associated Press

  Washington--- Top Pentagon officials considered using
military force to free American POWs being held in Laos in
1973 but later abandoned the plan, accord- ing to newly
declassified Defense Department documents.

   The plan was recommended by Lawrence Eagleburger, then
acting assistant secretary of defense and now deputy
secretary of state, who said in a memo to Defense Secretary
Elliot Richardson that air strikes should be considered "as
a last step" to force Laos to free American POWs.

    In the memo, Eagleburger said that U.S. Intelligence had
found that the Lao Patriotic Front was vastly under
reporting American POWs it was holding and that a series of
diplomatic and military moves should be taken against Laos.

   If diplomatic pressure did not move the Laotian
government and "if we are reasonably strongly convinced tht
the Pathet Lao hold POWs," then "as a last step, U.S. air
strikes and Lao and Thai irregular offensive operations
could be resumed in Laos in order to force the release of
our prisoners."

   Richardson later recommended the diplomatic measures as
well as "intensive" air reconnaissance and a show of force
by an aircraft carrier. But in his memo to the assistant to
the president for national security affairs, Richardson did
not recommend air strikes.

   The memos are among thousands of documents dealing with
Vietnam era POWs and MIAs. The documents --- including
live-sighting reports and internal assessments of Pentagon
efforts to locate POWs an MIAs---were released by the Penta-
gon on Thursday.

    Many thousands more documents --- up to a total of about
1.3 million pages are to be released over the coming months.

   Though massive in quantity, the documents are of limited
use since the files have not been indexed. The Library of
Congress is expected to index then by January.

   Also, some of the documents lack any accompanying
explanation.

   For example, an analysts memo dated July 1, 1992,
describes a 1975 sighting of possible Morse Code symbols on
the roof of a building at the Dong Vai Prison. The memo does
not say where the prison is located.

   Another memo attached to it but dated Dec. 23, 1988,
describes a sighting of the letters "USA" etched in a rice
paddy south of Sam Nua, Laos. The letters covered an area 37
feet by 13 feet and were probably constructed between Oct.
1987 and January 1988, according to the memo.

   Pentagon officials briefing reporters on the release of
the information said they were unable to comment on the
substance of the documents.


   In all, the Pentagon plans to release nearly all of the
4,400 live sighting reports it has received. All but 109 of
the sighting reports have been re- solved--- meaning that
either they are believed to have been fabricated or the
sighting was of individuals who have since returned from
Southeast Asia or whose remains have been returned.

   The 109 reports that are still being investigated deal
with sightings that occurred over a range of years, from
before 1975 to the present.

FIGHTIN' MAD POW FAMILIES CRY FOUL...

   Prez to MIA kin: SHUT UP!  Spies, Lies & pols...
    By Richard Sisk
News Washington Bureau & The Associated Press

    Washington --- The rage that boiled over at President
Bush yesterday during a meeting with POW/MIA families was
fanned, ironically, by his release two days ago of secret
documents long demanded by the activists.

    The Pentagon documents question the sincerity of U.S.
intelligence officers evaluating reports that some of 2,266
missing servicemen might have been left behind after the
U.S. and Vietnam said all POWs had been freed in 1973.

    One 1986 report -- written when Bush was vice president
-- said Pentagon personnel often had "a mind-set to debunk"
evidence that surfaced about Ameri- cans still held in
Southeast Asia.

    A panel headed by former Defense Intelligence Agency
director Eugene Tighe said the DIA tended toward disposal
rather than analysis "of intelligence that" establishes the
strong possibility of American prisoners of war (STILL)
being held."

    The first phase of the document release -- which
eventually will reach 1.3 million pages and 4,400 "Live"
sighting" reports -- included 1,800 reports of postwar
sightings of Americans in Southeast Asia and intelligence
reports of POW/MIA cases.

    One key omission: the names of missing servicemen. The
Pentagon said it had to protect their privacy...

    Senate POW/MIA Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.),
who had pressed Bush to open the files, called the
documents release "an unprecedented, even historic process."
 He will hold hearings Aug. 4 and Aug.5. Former presidentail
 hopeful Ross Perot, long active in POW/MIA affairs, will
 testify Aug.11.

    Meanwhile, former Eisenhower White House intelligence
officer Philip Corso said the U.S. covered up Soviet
abductions of 800 POWs from the Korean War, the Tacoma
(Wash.) Morning News Tribune reported.

                            --------------------------

  Prez to MIA Kin:

   Crystal City, Va. -- President Bush yesterday blew his
cool, telling irate relatives of missing American servicemen
to "shut up and sit down" after they accused him of
concealing the fate of 2,266 MIAs from the Vietnam War.

   Gloria Bristow, whose cousin "Marine Capt. Robert Kent
was shot down over Vietnam in 1968, was among the first
protesters to stand.

   "He was disrespectful to me, telling me to shut up and
sit down," the Arlington, Tex. woman told the Daily News.
"The government's been telling us that for years. Now we've
got it straight from the horse's mouth."

   Bush later told reporters: "I didn't blow my cool. I just
made an emphatic point."

   "Tell the truth!" and "Read my lips --- no more lies!"
about a dozen activists chanted as Bush tried to speak to
300 members of the National League of Families of American
MIAs-POWs in Southeast Asia. Another dozen or so joined in
from an adjoining hallway.

 BUSH LEFT DAIS:

   The heckling grew so intense and prolonged -- despite
calls from league officials and other MIA relatives to let
the President speak -- that Bush at one point left the
microphone for five minutes.

   During the uncomfortable interlude, as nervous Secret
Service bodyguards placed themselves between the podium and
the crows, Bush spoke off to the side with Jeff Donahue,
whose brother is an MIA.

   "Are you calling me a liar?" an Associated Press reporter
said Bush snapped at Donahue.

   Bush returned to the mike but the heckling resumed when
he spoke of his "patriotism" and his own service as a World
War II Navy flier shot down by the Japanese but rescued
before he could be taken prisoner.

 "TOTALLY UNFAIR":

   "To suggest that the commander-in-chief that led this
country into its most successful recent effort (the Gulf
War) would condone for one single day the personal knowledge
of a person being held against his will is simply totally
unfair." Bush said.

   Bush finally regained control of the session when he
admonished the hecklers. "Would you please be quiet and let
me finish?"  Would you please SHUT UP and SIT DOWN?"

   The protesters, reflecting deep divisions in the MIA/POW
family community over government sincerity, charged that the
Bush administration was covering up information that would
prove that POWs were alive and still being held in Southeast
Asia.

 WHO'S IN CHARGE?

   The angry confrontation added to Bush's woes as he seeks
reelection and fueled the notion that his campaign
strategists are out to lunch.

   Bush trails Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton by nearly 2 to 1
in some polls; many Republicans want him to dump Vice
President Quayle -- and yet his aides let him walk into a
guaranteed uproar by having him address the often emotional
MIA families two days after he ordered the release of secret
documents questioning government POW MIA efforts.

   Even before Bush entered the room, there were signs of
unrest. As the audience ended the singing of The Star
Spangled Banner, some shouted after the closing words "home
of the brave" "Why aren' they home?"

 PUZZLED PREZ:

   Although the protesters represented only a fraction of
the audience. Bush seemed puzzled that anyone doubted his
word that all was being done to learn the MIA's fate and
that the government had no firm evidence any POWs were left
behind in 1973.

                  --------------------------------
              The Star Ledger, Tuesday, July 28, 1992

 POW FAMILIES ANGRILY ACCUSE BUSH OF INACTION-KIN TURN HIS
WORDS INTO A TAUNT, DEMAND THAT FILES BE DECLASSIFIED.

  Crystal City, VA.  (AP)
Members of POW-MIA families wore "Shut Up and Sit Down"
buttons yesterday to protest what they said is President
Bush's refusal to heed their concerns about missing
relatives they believe may still be alive.

  The buttons appeared at a news conference at which the
National Alliance of Families repeated its demand that Bush
immediately declassify information about missing servicemen
and prisoners of war. The group says that files are being
kept under wraps.

  Members of the alliance heckled the President during a
speech here Friday to the National League of Families of
American MIAs-POWs in Southeast Asia. The alliance, many of
whose members also belong to the league, is concerned about
the missing from other wars besides Southeast Asia.

  Bush ended the heckling by asking sternly, "Would you
please SHUT UP and SIT DOWN?"

  Sue Scott, chairman of the board of the league, also
pleaded for quiet and said the majority of those present
wanted to hear the President.

  The buttons worn at yesterday's press conference read,
"Shut up! & sit down!" Bush POW policy 1992."

  Kathryn Famming of Oklahoma City, whose husband, Marine
Maj. Hugh Famming, was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967,
asked, "Why is it that the United States government is using
our dead and dying men as political footballs? I call for
immediate declassification and release of ALL information on
the prisoner of war issue.

  "So far we are having more `Read My Lips' lip service from
George Bush...and if you think he was heckled needlessly,
you have no idea what has been done to the families and,
worse, to the men they love."

  Catherine Dunn of Virginia Beach, Va., whose brother, Navy
navigator Michael Dunn, was also shot down over North
Vietnam, said, "I came searching for answers to a festering
wound. Instead, the President's response to family members
was `Please shut up and sit down.'"

  Last week, Bush signed legislation ordering agencies to
release files that did not invade the privacy of the POW-MIA
servicemen's families. The documents made available to the
public will have the names blacked out.
