The article focuses on the prisoners of the war of the American. North Vietnam, the NLF, and/or the Pathet Lao would turn the seventy POWs over to an intermediary, which would be an international agency or a neutral nation that both sides found acceptable. The intermediary would hold the men until it verified that 30,000 American military personnel had actually left Vietnam. Then it would release the POWs to American hands. This process would be repeated at regular intervals, perhaps every two weeks or every month, until all POWs were returned and all American troops were out of South-east Asia.
