MIAs and POWs
“A number of years ago, I had the opportunity to visit North Korea as part of an Intelligence Committee trip there–very unusual, not many people go to Pyongyang, to North Korea. Two main issues that we brought to the table: number one, we wanted them to stop developing missile technology and perhaps selling it to other countries.
“But in relationship to these families, and sometimes I think it comes as a surprise to some of these countries, very important to us was the issue of our MIAs and POWs. Every country has to know that if we are talking historically about former wars, or if we are talking about what we are engaged in now, or any thought into the future, we will never forget. We will always try to get the truth about our MIAs and our POWs.
“It was quite an honor to be able to speak on their behalf to the leadership of North Korea. But it is an issue that is much bigger than any Congressional visit. That’s why we have those flags flying in the Capitol as well for our POWs and our MIAs. We will never forget.

Joint Statement of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence–Congressional Delegation Visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea–August 12, 1997
From August 9 through August 11, a bipartisan, seven-member Congressional Delegation (CODEL) from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) was in Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) to meet with North Korean officials and gather first-hand information about the current situation in that volatile region. This was a precedent-setting visit to North Korea by a Congressional delegation of this size, seniority, and breadth of experience.
The delegation was led by HPSCI Chairman Porter J. Goss (R-FL). The other Members of Congress comprising the CODEL were Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Bill McCollum (R-FL), Jane Harman (D-CA), Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (D-GA), Charles F. Bass (R-NH) and Jim Gibbons (R-NV). In addition to their assignment on the HPSCI, these members represent a wealth of experience on relevant issues based on their other committee assignments.
The delegation's interlocutors were headed by Mr. Kang Sokju, First Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), and Mr. Li Hyong-chol, Director of American Affairs of the MFA. All discussions took place in the Pyongyang region. Despite repeated requests by CODEL members, the delegation was unable to travel to famine-stricken areas where it had hoped to determine the extent of the problem and investigate the system used for distributing food aid.
In several formal and informal working sessions with the North Koreans, the CODEL made the following points:
