Supplementing Bush's statement, retired General John Vessey, the President's personal MIA/POW representative, just back from Hanoi, produced new photos and a Memorandum of Understanding in which Vietnamese officials agreed to "make available all museums that may contain U.S. MIA archival data" and promised access to display cases, microfiche files and other materials.
