At the State Department, the officer in charge of POW-MIA affairs, Frank Sieverts, says: "We're not ready to-relax yet. We are continuing with the very serious work of searching for information about the missing in-action." Sieverts emphasizes that the search is going to be a grim, heart-breaking job. Of some 1900 men missing in action in Southeast Asia, only 588 have been accounted for so far, leav ing more than 1300 whose fate is unknown. In Laos, for exam ple, only nine. Americans have turned up out of a total of more than 300. "We intend to be as thorough and as quick as possible," says Sieverts.

Sieverts makes it clear that the State Department and U.S. military officials won't let up until they have exhausted all efforts to account for the MIA's, "The peace agreement with North Vietnam contains detailed, specific provisions for gathering information on the missing and dead," he says. "The protocols to the Laos agreement also have specific language on this. "Right now we are pressinj the Pathet Lao for additional information. We have madt clear our dissatisfaction witt what we have gotten so far." Sieverts notes that the U.S has set up a Joint Casualt3 Resolution Center in Thaffand near the Laos and Vietnam bor ders, from which search partiei will go out to try to find anc inspect plane crash sites anc places of burial.
