The Reagan Administration said it has dispatched three U.S. medical experts to Vietnam under an agreement to give that country humanitarian help and receive information on Americans missing in the Indochina War. The experts, including two specialists in orthopedic rehabilitation, will be in Hanoi for three days of talks beginning Tuesday, according to the State Department. In early August, retired Gen. John W. Vessey Jr. won a pledge of renewed assistance from Hanoi on the POW-MIA issue and promised to send experts to “look into certain humanitarian concerns . . . people who were disabled, crippled during the war.”
