The clemency program for Vietnam era deserters and draft evaders is extended to March. Ford cited late awareness as why申 many potential beneficiaries have yet to apply and noted rising applications. Critics from the Legion and civil rights groups urged broader amnesty and job support. The program branches cover pardons or service discharges, public service jobs, and a separate track for unconvicted evaders returning from abroad.
