Therefore it becomes simply a matter or who has the Mission and by joint army and air Force regulations cafes has the  subject May become moot in some areas.

Of course it dissent is a serious problem he added but the other question ii if hat is the dissent of Many Many faithful people or if it is a dissent of some very pronounced theologian or publishers writ ers perhaps  the arrival of Pope and president were arranged so thai air Force one from Washington would touchdown first. From the air the Pope and the president could see the 90-foot High 30-ton steel Cross erected att Miami Park. Evidence that Mia is alive is 10 years old Pentagon says by Chuck Vinch. Washington Bureau Washington evidence thai an american Pilot listed As missing in Laos in 1968 is alive there today is simply the same information printed on fliers passed oui in Indochina in the mid-1970s by the Pilot s father according to military officials. However the Pilot father said he is not prone to fantasizing or Wishful thinking and that he believes his son is alive. I m convinced my son ims been trying to reach us with information on his whereabouts said retired air Force col. , Donahue of Cocoa Beach Fla i m also certain the government does t care. They just want the Issue to die so that previous administrations Are not embarrassed by a Bunch of crippled and Dis eased american boys suddenly coming  silly Hindon a former North Carolina Congress Man Active in pow affairs held a press conference last week to publicize what he called unimpeachable conclusive evidence that Morgan Donahue it a prisoner in Laos. Donahue was a Captain in the air Furce when he was shot Down. Hindon s information is based on a Tetter from a refugee and an interview transcript the  to . Donahue in june and August. But Pentagon officials As Well As a warrant offic stationed in Heidelberg who served with the joint casually Resolution Center in Southeast Asia in the Early 1970s, maintain All of the information in the " documents was listed on paper Niers that the elder Donahue circulated widely in Indochina. Hindon told the stars and stripes this week that one report is vague but the second leaves nothing tothe imagination saying that Morgan Donahue is alive at a specific location in Laos with five other Ameri cans. A map of the prison area also was provided by the source of the report but was not forwarded to la elder Donahue Hendon said Morgan Donahue and five other americans went Down in 1968 aboard a c-123 aircraft thai Collid a i midair with a b-57 during a night interdiction raid Over Laos officially 549 americans Are listed is miss ing in Laos. / this map gives the location of the jump where Morgan is  said Hendon who a cons the pow policy Center for the american defeats Institute a Washington think tank. We Don t buy the line thai this if All made up he said. " the Pentagon debunked of polls about Bobby Garwood until he walked out of us Jungle. It s become a habit with them to debunk these reports. We just Don t buy it  but a Pentagon official Aid the map is not what Hendon claims. The map is the size of a playing card on a Sheet of paper and his the Border of Laos thai land and Vietnam drawn As if they were traced from Book he said. There Are two per feta on the map Danang in Vietnam and Anol mrion in Laos the official said. There is writing off the paper but it has dog tag data on a service member who is no longer missing. There is no reference to a  the information accompanying the map he said was from a refugee who ran across a childhood Friend also a refugee who said he knew a member of the father lao who had guarded two americans. That s hardly firsthand information he said. The other report was a letter from a refugee who has been in the United Stales since 1979, but who maintains Contact with the laotian resistance in Thailand. A member of the resistance knew someone who had guarded american prisoners the report said. Both reports include Morgan Donahue s full name birth Dale and the aircraft he was flying. They also contain a five digit number which corresponds 10 the zip code of the family Home in Florida. All that was on the fliers that Donahue himself passed out in Southeast Asia the official said. It interesting that the Only name in these reports is the one on the fliers. One report said the source had information on five other americans thai s exactly the Way Donahue s father phrased his  the elder Donahue advertised extensively in Southeast Asia for information on his son and one flier even filtered up to the Pentagon in 1980, the official said. Chief warrant officer Lynn m. Olson of Heidi Borg agrees thai the information came straight from the fliers. Olson a 17-year Veteran said he was once As signed to the joint casualty Resolution Center in mid-1973, he took a 90-Day temporary duty trip to Thailand to set up an aviation Section. While in Bangkok he met with . Donahue who was seeking information on his missing son Morgan. Olson said Donahue gave him a flier with detailed information on the a fussing Pilot. He said he thinks the elder Donahue is getting Back the same information he planted years ago yet accepts it As proof that fits son is alive. I Don t Frink there s anyone Over there now who does t warn to be there Olson said referring to allegations Atal some americans arc still being held in Indochina. J flunk we did everything in our Power to resolve thl fes As Well As we  he said although head  Jarc never had authorization to operate in Laos the Jarc operated in South Vietnam and Cam Bodia it about 12 years through 1974, but Donahue said it s impossible that his flier could be the basis for the current reports i circulated those fliers Over a decade ago in a place with a humid climate a Long Rainy season and people who a Sass in rags he said. I can t believe those papers bowl survive this  he remains convinced that the information has been sent out of bios somehow by his son and he thinks the zip code ii key piece of information. They Don t speak Kiuchi English in the provinces Over there he said. So rather than giving nit Mother s name or something rate that and running the risk of haying it screwed up Al no the Way Morgan give our zip code As an  there is no evidence of a Cam by any laotian Donahue said. There s been no request for anything in return for this information 1 can t imagine that people who must fight just to stay alive would play such games to amuse  Hendon. Morgan Donahue s brother Jeffrey Dona Hue and eight other relatives of americans missing in action plan to release Gas filled balloons Over Laos next week with leaflets offering a 12.1 million Reward for anyone who returns an american prisoner alive. Hendon claims the Pentagon has callously closed the Book on Morgan Donahue a charge the Pentagon official firmly denies. No file on any american missing in Southeast Asia is Ever closed until he or his remains Are found and resumed to . Authorities the official Aid but in this Case the defense intelligence Agency has Analysed these reports and has concluded they con Tain no new evidence of americans held in Laos and certainly no evidence that could be called unimpeachable or  Webb visiting sailors in persian Gulf Washington Apt Webb left thursday for the i James h.
