Abstract
We present a short proof of the following Pontryagin theorem, whose original proof was complicated and has never been published in details: {\bf Theorem.} Let be a connected oriented closed smooth 3-manifold. Let be the set of framed links in up to a framed cobordism. Let be the map taking a framed link to its homology class. Then for each there is a 1-1 correspondence between the set and the group , where is the divisibility of the projection of to the free part of .
