US House of Representatives’ bill on Viet Nam opposed

23/09/2007 -- 8:10 PM

Washington (VNA) – After the US House of Representatives passed the Viet Nam Human Rights Act of 2007 (H.R.3096), many Americans have expressed their disappointment on the adoption. They considered the House’s adoption of the bill a partial action that did not objectively reflect what are happening in Viet Nam as well as relations between the US and the Southeast Asian nation. In a letter sent to US Senators, Andre Sauvageot said: “I am a retired US Army officer, with 9 tours (years) of duty in wartime Viet Nam, followed by post-war US Government service to do political analysis of Viet Nam and assist with the MIA/POW issue.” “I am deeply disappointed that the House passed subject legislation so clearly counter to important American interests in East Asia,” the retired US Army colonel added. He said in an interview with a US-based Viet Nam News Agency reporter that on his own view of point, the House’s adoption of the bill is a short-sighted and negative action and did impact on the US-Viet Nam relations.-Enditem
