Goodell Comments on Extending Amnesty Program
Goodell said extending the program by one or two years is a Congressional decision and not his as board chairman. Several bills in Congress seek to extend or grant amnesty. The board has acted on about 500 of 16,500 applications, with more expected to move soon as cases pile in. Ford has granted 67 pardons and 120 more are pending.
