       74R3563 PFG-D
                                  R E S O L U T I O N
    1-1        WHEREAS, Americans recognize and appreciate the enormous
    1-2  sacrifices made by United States military personnel who served
    1-3  courageously in the Vietnam War and the conflict in Southeast Asia,
    1-4  some of whom are still classified as missing in action; and
    1-5        WHEREAS, While the status of most of the American soldiers
    1-6  who lost their lives or were injured during this long military
    1-7  engagement is certain, the fate of more than 2,000 military
    1-8  personnel remains unknown decades after the United States' final
    1-9  withdrawal from Vietnam; and
   1-10        WHEREAS, The unresolved status of those brave individuals is,
   1-11  understandably, a source of great concern for their families, their
   1-12  friends, and their fellow citizens and represents a chapter in our
   1-13  nation's history that cannot be satisfactorily concluded until
   1-14  their whereabouts are known; and
   1-15        WHEREAS, Recognizing the importance of this vital obligation
   1-16  to American military personnel and their families, the United
   1-17  States Congress has sought to locate these individuals in the past
   1-18  and should continue to take all necessary steps to fulfill this
   1-19  important duty in the future; now, therefore, be it
   1-20        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 74th Texas
   1-21  Legislature hereby request the Congress of the United States to
   1-22  continue its efforts to determine the location and status of all
   1-23  United States military personnel still missing in Southeast Asia;
   1-24  and, be it further
    2-1        RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
    2-2  for the president of the United States, the speaker of the House of
    2-3  Representatives of the United States Congress, the president of the
    2-4  Senate of the United States Congress, and  all members of the Texas
    2-5  delegation to the congress.
