Peoples Funeral Home The Associated Press lauded efforts the president now! We must stop normalization.

If you already have called and written, do it again and again." The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, based in Washington, also is active in the campaign. Asked about her plans, Ann Mills Griffith, the league's executive director, said Friday: 'Truth. We've got the facts." She said group members will be taking their case to Congress.

House Speaker Newt Gingrich, told CNN on Friday. "This is not the time to be cozying up to dictators." Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, said at a news conference in St. Paul, "I don't share President Clinton's views on normalizing relations with Vietnam." However, Sen.

John McCain, a former Vietnam war prisoner, favors normal ties, as do U.S. business groups. And not all veterans groups are opposed.

The debate over Vietnam's cooperation is intensifying as President Clinton nears a decision on whether to re-establish full diplomatic relations with the former communist adversary after a 20-year lapse. State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns appeared on Friday to foreshadow a decision by Clinton to take that step. "I think a lot of people in our government believe that we have-reached a new level of cooperation with the Vietnamese on the issue of POWs and MIAs." Burns told reporters.

He also stressed Vietnam's political and economic Importance in Southeast Asia. "Vietnam is a country of emerging importance in Southeast Asia certainly an important country economically for the United States and other countries," he said. He also said Vietnam plays a key role in regional seturity and will soon join the six-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations. But veterans and family groups are arguing against diplomatic recognition on grounds that Vietnam has not lived up to the demands for an accounting that Clinton had set as a condition for normal relations. These groups have been Increasingly active since word spread last month that Secretary of State Warren Christopher had recommended to Clinton that, after 20 years, the time for normal relations had arrived.
