Hearing for POW-MIA is first in 11 years

A House subcommittee has scheduled the first congressional oversight hearing in more than a decade to look at military efforts to locate and identify service members missing from past wars.
Navy Rear Adm. Donna Crisp, who heads to Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, and Charles Ray, the deputy assistant defense secretary for POW and MIA policy, will testify Thursday before the military personnel subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.
One focus of the hearing will be joint efforts between the U.S. and China to discover the fate of missing Korean War veterans. An agreement signed earlier this year has opened Chinese archives that may contain clues to what happened to more than 8,000 U.S. service members unaccounted for at the end of the Korean War.
For example, on June 25, the Pentagon announced the identification of the remains of a Korean War soldier. The remains of Army Sgt. Gene F. Clark, who had served with the 1st Cavalry Division in 1950, were identified by military officials and turned over to his family for burial.
