U.S. CONGRESSMEN OFFER HELP TO CROATIA IN TRACING MISSING PERSONS

PERSONS $ ZAGREB, March 2 (Hina) - A 15-member US Congress delegation currently on a visit to Croatia offered their assistance in tracing missing persons, Congressman Robert Dornan told reporters in Zagreb on Saturday after meeting Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. Dornan said that Congress could appoint a commission that would try to solve the problem of missing persons in direct contacts with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. Dornan added that he thought that economic sanctions against Serbs should not have been lifted until the fate of all civilian and military prisoners on both sides was known. The head of the Congress delegation, Sonny Callahan, said that Croatia should be be admitted to NATO and that he could see no reason why that would not be soon. (hina) vm 022200 MET mar 96
