Maney Doestlin goto 295953 DOS Dept. of State ? 9200165 421 E. 60th Drive Merrillville, IN 46410 The Honorable George Bush 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Bush: I am a Senior at Merrillville High School in Merrillville, Indiana. By next fall's election I will be of voting age. One issue that interests me is the possibility that MIA's of the Vietnam War are still living and are prisoners in Indo- China. I am curious as to what your opinion on this subject is. Through research I am now conducting, I have found little information concerning governmental investigations into alleged sightings. What steps are currently being taken to determine whether or not American MIA's are indeed being held in Indo- China? This summer, a photo surfaced showing a man in a Laotian prison camp. This man, Major Donald G. "Butch" Carr, of East Chicago, Indiana, is my cousin. Since he is listed as going down over twenty years ago, I do not personally know him, but my dad has told me many stories about the good times that he and "Butch" had during their childhoods. More than 2,331 soldiers are listed as missing in action in the Vietnam War. I think it is time that the families of these men know the truth about the disappearance of their loved ones. Sincerely yours, Qenxifer cass Jennifer Carr
