This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that all future trade agreements entered into by the United States should mandate reasonable access and collaboration from partner nations. The primary purpose of these provisions is to facilitate search, investigation, and recovery activities for United States personnel who remain missing and unaccounted for from prior wars or military conflicts. Currently, recovery operations for missing service members are often complex, requiring country-by-country diplomatic negotiations. This resolution aims to leverage mutually beneficial trade relationships to establish a more transparent and efficient process for accounting for the thousands of U.S. personnel still missing from conflicts such as the Vietnam War, World War II, and the Korean War.
