FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 2, 1974
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
The President today announced his intention to nominate two persons for
appointment as Members of the Board of Parole for terms of 6 years:
George J. Reed, of Eugene, Oregon; who was Chairman
of the Board of Parole from 1959 to 1972.
William E. Amos, of College Park, Maryland;
Member of the Board of Parole since 1969 and
Chairman of the Youth Correction Division since
1972.
The Board of Parole consists of eight members, appointed by the President
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. It has sole authority to
grant, modify, or revoke paroles of all U.S. prisoners. It is responsible
for the supervision of parolees and prisoners released upon the expiration
of their sentences with allowances for statutory good times. U.S. probation
officers supervise parolees and mandatory releases.
The Board has additional responsibility in cases in which the committing
court specifies that the Board of Parole shall determine the date of parole
eligibility of the prisoner. It may, under its rules, discharge parolees
from supervision.
The Board also has the responsibility of determining, in accordance with
the provisions of section 504 of the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act of 1959, whether the service as officials in the field of organized
labor of persons convicted of certain crimes is contrary to the purposes of
that act.
