Vietnamese officials to get preferred treatment for National Archives research
Vietnamese researchers are in Washington this week to conduct U.S.-funded studies on Hanoi's war dead and will receive special treatment from the National Archives and Records Administration -- treatment that critics say has not been reciprocated in Vietnam or extended in the U.S. to American researchers seeking access to the same archives for clues on missing U.S. service members.
