522. WILLIAM J. CLINTON (b. 1946) Forty-second President of the United States, the first elected president to be impeached. Fine content, lengthy T.L.S. "Bill Clinton" as President on White House letterhead, 2pp. 4to., Washington, Feb. 10, 1995, to powerful Senator Paul Simon regarding the past trade embargo on Vietnam. In part: "...As you know, I lifted the trade embargo and announced our intention to open liaison offices...I did so in order to advance the goal of achieving a full accounting for our POW-MIAs. The liaison office, opened under the framework of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, will enhance our ability to achieve such progress. The establishment of liaison offices does not constitute the establishment of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Vietnam. I continue to believe that any decisions on normalizing relations with Vietnam depends on additional progress in accounting for our POWs-MIAs...Our policy of pressing for additional process is achieving results in...efforts by Vietnam to recover and repatriate American remains; continued resolution of discrepancy cases, live sightings and field activities; further assistance in implementing trilateral investigation with the Lao, and accelerated efforts to provide all POW-MIA-related documents that will help lead to genuine answers...". Boldly signed, adding "Thanks" in holograph below signature. Fine. $400 - 500
