"Americans, including American servicemen, were imprisoned in the former Soviet Union...." The Board of Directors of the National Alliance of Families has, by unanimous vote, recorded a vote of “no confidence” in Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, and Chairman of the U.S./Russian Joint Commission Jerry Jennings. The Alliance Board of Directors also recorded, again unanimously, a vote of “no confidence” in the Defense POW/MIA Office (DPMO), as a whole... Our Reasons....
"Americans, including American servicemen, were imprisoned in the former Soviet Union...." so states a Pentagon report, titled "The Gulag Study," compiled by the Joint Commission Support Directorate (JCSD,) the investigative arm of the U.S/Russian Joint Commission. Not maybe.... not thought to be.... not believed to be..... WERE IMPRISONED!
