This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that all future trade agreements between the United States and other nations should include provisions for reasonable access and collaboration to support search and recovery efforts for U.S. military personnel who remain missing and unaccounted for from previous conflicts. The resolution highlights the significant number of missing service members from major wars, including 1,566 from the Vietnam War, 71,853 from World War II, and 7,398 from the Korean War. Currently, the Department of Defense Prisoners of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Accounting Agency must negotiate recovery operations on a country-by-country basis. The resolution suggests that countries engaging in trade agreements with the United States should provide a transparent and efficient process to aid in the recovery of these missing personnel, recognizing the importance of supporting families and honoring the service of those who have not yet been accounted for.
