Amnesty rejected
Washington-In his last full day as president, Gerald
Ford Wednesday rejected amnesty for Vietnam military
deserters and draft evaders but directed that honorable
discharges be awarded to wounded and decorated vet
erans who had not received them.
The new ruling would apply only to deserters and
would affect at most 700 former servicemen, a White
House spokesman said. They would be eligible for
veterans benefits, including medical care and education.
In making the ruling, Ford fulfilled a promise to consi
der amnesty he made last month to the widow pf Sen.
Philip Hart, D-Mich., who supported amnesty.
