Remains returned from Vietnam, Laos

   WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. teams working with 
Vietnamese and Laotian authorities have recovered the 
remains of five American servicemen previously listed as 
missing in action.
   Officials today identified the men, all Air Force 
personnel, as Maj. Thomas R. Allen of Woodward, Okla.; 
Capt. Ronald L. Packard of Canon City, Colo.; Maj. John C. 
Clark of Brownfield, Texas; Capt. Patrick K. Harrold of 
Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; and Maj. Bobby G. Huggins of 
Montgomery, Ala.
   The Pentagon said Allen and Packard were flying a night 
armed reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam on July 31, 
1967, when they were apparently shot down while attacking a 
suspected enemy truck.
   On Dec. 5, 1969, Clark and Harrold were flying a night 
strike mission over Laos. Their F-4E fighter jet crashed 
after going into a steeper- than-normal attack dive from 
which pilots were unable to recover.
   Huggins and a crew member were flying a night mission, 
photographing Vietnamese positions, when their low-flying 
plane apparently crashed on June 4, 1970.
   Three separate missions, conducted with the assistance 
of Laos and Vietnam, recovered the remains following 
search-and-excavation operations. The remains were all 
subsequently identified through DNA testing
   With the five servicemen's identification, 2,104 
Americans remain unaccounted for from the Vietnam War.
