Vietnam agrees in principle to allowing U.S. excavation teams into the Hanoi area to search for missing American servicemen, a ranking Vietnamese official said. Vo Dong Giang, No. 2 in the Foreign Ministry, said in an Associated Press interview at the United Nations that Vietnamese will conduct most of the searches but that for crash sites that are very difficult to reach, or where heavy equipment is needed, Hanoi may ask for U.S. help. Sources said the two sides have agreed to a joint survey and excavation of a crash site near Hanoi as an experiment.
