Digitized from Box 7 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 31, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
AMENDING PROCLAMATION NO. 4313 OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1974,
TO EXTEND THE APPLICATION PERIOD OF THE
PROGRAM FOR THE RETURN OF VIETNAM ERA DRAFT
EVADERS AND MILITARY DESERTERS
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On September 16, 1974, I issued Proclamation No. 4313,
announcing a program of earned return for those convicted
and accused of violating certain provisions of the Selective
Service Act or the Uniform Code of Military Justice during
the Vietnam conflict.
Upon careful review of the progress of this program,
I believe that many of those persons who could benefit
from this program are only now learning of its application
to their cases. Therefore, I am extending the date by which
all applications must be received.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, pursuant to my powers under Article II
of the Constitution, do hereby proclaim that Proclamation
No. 4313 is amended as follows:
Section 1. Paragraph (1) of Section 1 is amended to
read as follows:
"presents himself to a United States Attorney before
March 1, 1975,".
Sec. 2. The first paragraph of Section 2 is amended
by striking out the date "January 31, 1975," after the
words "offenses directly related thereto if before" and
inserting in place thereof "March 1, 1975,".
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirtieth
day of January, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.
GERALD R. FORD
