H. RES. 129 PASSES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

H. RES. 129 PASSES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:  On February 12th, the US House of Representatives passed this important resolution by a vote of 411 – 0, sending a unified message to the American people – including our Armed Forces serving today and our veterans, as well as foreign nations.  Introduced by Representative Sam Johnson (R-TX), a returned POW from the Vietnam War, His strong message on the Floor of the House occurred almost precisely 45 years after he and America’s other returned POWs were released from many years of captivity in Vietnam.  Passage of this resolution reflects true bipartisan, non-political support for the humanitarian accounting mission.

It is now the US Senate’s turn to act.  The identical measure was simultaneously introduced in the US Senate by Senator John S. McCain (R-AZ) as S. RES. 61.  Non-partisan, non-political passage by the US Senate would further reinforce our country’s support for achieving the fullest possible accounting for those who serve our nation – past, present and future.  That needs to happen quickly
