Demanding the return of the U.S.S. Pueblo to the United

Whereas the U.S.S. Pueblo, which was attacked and captured

Hodges, was killed in the assault while the other 82 crew 
members were held in captivity, often under inhumane 
conditions, for 11 months; 
Whereas the U.S.S. Pueblo, an intelligence collection auxil-
iary vessel, was operating in international waters at the 
time of the capture, and therefore did not violate North 
Korean territorial waters;
