Amnesty plan on radio TV pushes Clemency Board drive
The Presidential Clemency Board launched a nationwide radio and TV campaign to reach the 99 000 eligible suspects. Only about 900 have signed up. The board sent tapes to stations urging frequent airplay and offered a countdown to January 31 deadline. Four members produced radio and TV spots including a Spanish version. Goodell noted Ford may not extend the deadline but could if response improves.
