Ford considers amnesty for Vietnam draft resisters
President Ford said he may seek amnesty for about 50 000 youths who fled or evaded the draft, asking General William Saxbe and Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger to report by Sept. 1 on those in legal trouble. He framed veterans aid as a priority, while signaling veto power on costly veterans bills to fight inflation. Roudebush, backed by major veterans groups, was named acting head of the VA. The Chicago reception was large despite Mayor Daley’s illness and Cyprus violence news.
