REMARKS:

Major Larry Robinson was 32 years old, a 14 year Marine Corps veteran when
the F4B he was piloting crashed near Savannakhet, 5 miles northwest of
Sepone. Both Robinson and his backseater, Robert Burnes, were declared
killed in action, body not recovered.

Robinson is listed among the missing because his body was never recovered.
He is among nearly 600 Americans who were lost in Laos during U.S.
involvement in Southeast Asia. Although the Pathet Lao stated on several
occasions they held "tens of tens" of American prisoners, Laos was not
included in the agreements ending American involvement in the war, and the
U.S. has not negotiated for the freedom of these men since that day.
Consequently, not one American held in Laos has ever been released. His wife
still waits for answers.

Nearly 2500 Americans remain missing or otherwise unaccounted for in
Vietnam. Since the war ended, over 10,000 reports concerning missing
Americans in Southeast Asia have been received by the U.S. Government. Many
experts are completely convinced that hundreds of Americans are still held
captive. Are we doing enough to bring these men home?
