Letter from Lieutenant Robert F. Frishman, April 28, 1971

Frishman, who had been a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, addresses this letter to all members of the U.S. Congress. He urged them to make sure that American POWs were included in any Vietnam troop withdrawal plans. He explained that the U.S. had a legal and moral duty under the Geneva Convention to protect prisoners and push North Vietnam to release them.
