Ngày
19 tháng sáu năm 1996.Ủy Ban Tình Báo Thượng Viện Hoa Kỳ mời nhóm Vietnamese
Commandos vào điều trần và sau đó Quốc Hội Hoa Kỳ đã chính thức công nhận sự hy
sinh và lòng dũng cảm của các lực lượng quân sự của Nam Việt Nam, Australia,
Hàn Quốc, Thái Lan, New Zealand, và Philippines qua SEC 535.
Đặc biệt Vietnamese Commandos được dành riêng một SEC 536. Sau đó
lưỡng viện đã thông qua một đạo luật mới vinh danh và bồi hoàn danh dự
cho Vietnamese Commandos. Những sự kiện
lịch sử đó cho thấy South Vietnam hay Việt Nam Cộng Hòa đã được phục hồi và công nhận vị thế và danh dự sau thắng
lợi của cuộc đấu tranh và vận động của Vietnamese
Commandos với cả ba ngành Tư Pháp, Lập Pháp và Hành Pháp từ 17 năm về trước chứ
không phải đợi đến ngày nay. Chính đương kim ngoại trưởng John Kerry là
người giới thiệu sự kiện tại cuộc điều trần trước Uỷ Ban Tình
Báo Thượng Viện Hoa Kỳ vào ngày June 19/1996. (Vietnamese commandos : hearing before the Select Committee on
Intelligence of the United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, second
session ... Wednesday, June 19, 1996 (1997))
Sự
kiện lịch sử thượng dẫn cho thấy đoạn văn của ông Nguyễn Ngọc Bích trích dưới
hoàn toàn SAI LẠC mang tính chất bóp méo lịch sử.
trích:
" Như vậy, ta có thể thấy được rằng vị-thế của VNCH ngày càng được phục-hồi và công-nhận, ăn khớp với những sách vở (trong cả tiếng Anh lẫn tiếng Việt) cũng như dư-luận ngày càng muốn trả lại danh-dự cho miền Nam và Quân-lực VNCH.

G.
VIETNAMESE COMMANDOS The Committee held a hearing on June 19, 1996, to hear
testi-mony regarding a Vietnam-era covert action program. This oper-ation,
funded and supported by the United States, sent severalhundred Vietnamese
commandos into North Vietnam on espionageand sabotage missions. Nearly all of
these commandos were killedor captured by the North Vietnamese. Those who were
capturedwere not released in 1973 following the Paris peace agreement andspent
as long as twenty years in North Vietnamese jails. Recentlydeclassified
documents and statements made by individuals in-volved with this program
suggested that in 1964 U.S. officials di-recting the operation began declaring
these men as killed-in-actionso that the captured commandos could be dropped
from the pro-gram’s payroll. In a case in the U.S. Court of Claims, 281 of
thesecommandos sought payment from the U.S. Government for thetime they spend
in prison.After the Committee’s hearing, Senators John Kerry and JohnMcCain
offered an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill toprovide these men, or
their heirs, with compensation. The Adminis-tration, without reference to any
outstanding legal issues, sup-ported the Kerry-McCain amendment. This provision was includedin the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997signed by President Clinton. The
Department of Defense Appro-priations Conference Report contained identical
language and pro-vided up to $20 million for payment of the claims.
