Carter's draft pardons spark mixed public reaction
President Carter on his first full day pardoned Vietnam draft resisters in a move praised by some as healing and criticized by others as divisive. Reactions split along party lines with senators Goldwater and Dole attacking the measure while Kennedy and McGovern lauded it. The action covers those who entered two year alternative service under Ford amnesty and aims to study deserters and discharge upgrades affecting about 432,530 discharged veterans and 4,500 deserters.
