WASHINGTON — Vietnam has reaffirmed its willingness to speed up accounting for the 2,296 American servicemen still missing in Southeast Asia, a special envoy for President Bush said today.

“They said they want to continue to cooperate and to speed up resolving the issue,” Vessey told a reporter after addressing a ceremony for POW-MIA Recognition Day.
