The National Vietnam Veterans Coalition in San Antonio, Tex., urged Congress to set up a commission headed by Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot to resolve the fate of more than 2,000 missing American soldiers who served in Vietnam. “He can negotiate things that the government can’t do because he’s a businessman and, through these negotiating techniques available to him that maybe the U.S. government isn’t in the position to use, he would follow through and resolve this,” said Kent Farquhar, spokesman for the Washington-based coalition of 27 organizations.
