GRAPEVINE, Page 17Threatening a Letter
By JANICE CASTRO
President Bush's desire to speed up normalization of
relations with Vietnam hit a snag just before Senator John
Kerry's delegation left for Hanoi. Kerry was going to deliver
a letter to the Vietnamese all but lifting the economic embargo.
But ANN MILLS GRIFFITHS, executive director of the National
League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in
Southeast Asia, threatened to go very public with her opposition
on the eve of the mission. Griffiths objects to normalizing
relations before a fuller accounting of American prisoners and
casualties is made. The White House backed down, substituting
an innocuous letter of greeting.
