EXPLANATION OF NAMES LISTED AND COORDINATES PROVIDED IN THIS UNCLASSIFIED VERSION OF THE PMSEA

The National Defense Authorization Act for 1991 and 1992, Section 1082, also referred to as the McCain Bill, specifies that the Secretary of Defense may not make public records of Vietnam-era unaccounted for persons except under certain conditions.

The Bill specifies that the material includes any record, live sighting report, or other information in the custody of the Department of Defense that relates to the location, treatment, or condition of any Vietnam-era POW/MIA. The Bill further provides that the Secretary of Defense may not make such records public, if the record specifically mentions a person by name, unless, in the case of a person who is dead or incapacitated or whose whereabouts are unknown, a family member of family members of that person determined by the Secretary of Defense to be appropriate for such purpose expressly consent in writing to the disclosure of the record or other information.

In compliance with the McCain Bill, in 1992 DoD submitted letters through the service casualty officers to the primary next of kin (as defined in DoD Instruction 1300.18) of 2,266 unaccounted for personnel requesting consent to release the records pertaining to their unaccounted for family member. Consent to release was granted in writing by 1, 661 next of kin. However, as of January 3, 1995, in the case of 605 unaccounted for persons, the next of kin denied consent, withheld consent pending review of the records being considered for release, or did not respond to the 1992 DoD letters. Under the protections provided in the McCain Bill, the names of these individuals are included in this PMSEA, but the last known latitude/longitude of the individual's place of loss is not included.
