Statement of Mrs. Cora Weiss, March 31, 1971

Weiss' statement before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee argued that U.S. policies in Vietnam were making the war worse and keeping American prisoners of war from coming home. She explained that real progress could only happen if the U.S. promised to withdraw its troops, since the Vietnamese had already offered talks under those terms. Weiss and her group worked to connect POWs with their families through letters and packages.
