A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA,
REQUESTING AN ACCOUNTING OF VIETNAM
POW/MIA AMERICANS
WHEREAS, the United States is nearing the twentieth
anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War; and
WHEREAS, over 2200 members of the United States Armed
Forces are still unaccounted for; and
WHEREAS, animal bones and miscellaneous pieces of
material sent back as remains do not constitute adequate
verification of the fate of those Americans designated as
missing-in-action; and
WHEREAS, the Defense Intelligence Office, charged with
the responsibility of researching and verifying information on
the missing Americans, may not have pursued such activities
with the diligence expected by the American People; and
WHEREAS, the United States Senate may appoint a special
committee to study the entire issue of those Americans missing
in Vietnam.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of
the City of Baldwin Park and its citizens do hereby:
SECTION 1. Support and encourage the United States
Senate to form a special committee to investigate the issue of
American citizens missing in Vietnam.
SECTION 2. Request a complete accounting by the Defense
Intelligence Office to the families of those missing and the
people of this nation as to the actions and process used over
the last twenty years to locate or verify the fate of those
Americans missing in Vietnam.
SECTION 3. Request the President of the United States,
George Bush, to commit the necessary resources to ensure that
all missing Americans are accounted for and this unfinished
business of the Vietnam War be once and for all laid to rest.
SECTION 4. The city Clerk shall certify to the passage
of this Resolution and shall forward a copy to President Bush,
the United States Senate and the U.S. House of
Representatives.
