(R-Oliio) Monday rejected the Nixon Administration's contention that Congress might not have the power to grant amnesty to Vietnam era draft resisters. Taft appeared before a House Subcommittee to press for enactment of his conditional amnesty proposal and said Congress has a long history of granting such immunities. He noted that in 1865 Congress directed President Lincoln to issue a proclamation announcing a pardon for deserters who returned to their posts within 60 days. No Question "There can be no question that Congress has the Constitutional authority to enact legislation permitting certain classes of individuals to obtain immunity from criminal prosecution." Taft told the House Judiciary- Subcommittee on Civil Liberties and the Administration of Justice. A Justice Department witness told the subcommittee Friday that amnesty proposals before it had "serious constitutional defecU" and said that the Justice Department feels "it is quite difficult to say that Congress has the consitutional when he had been told that he could not keep a dog in a housing project where he lived, He had intended to take the dog on a bus.

Taft told the subcommittee that public opinion is -overwhelmingly opposed to granting unconditional amnesty to all Vietnam era draft evaders. But he said resistance to some form of limited amnesty in which evaders agree to perform alternative public, service is gaining acceptance. issue to be considered is not whether draft resisters were right or wrong, nor whether the United States should have become involved in the Vietnam conflict." Taft said.

Bitterness He said "enough bitterness" has been generated by that issue and urged the subcommittee to find a way to establish "a practical method whereby an estimated 30,000 individuals could return to this country or cease to be fugitives without creating further division among Americans." Taft was the first senator to take on the sensitive amnesty issue when he offered ah alternative service bill in December, 1971. Despite the end to American military involvement in Vietnam, Taft acknowledged that amnesty is still highly controversial due to inflexible positions taken by groups on both sides of the emotional issue. Indeed amnesty is so controversial that Taft said he consciously avoided using the word in the title of his bill which he calls instead the "Eearned Immunity Act of 1973." Taft's proposal would exempt draft evaders from prosecution if they agreed to serve two years in public service. It would Service Act while 47 persons from Minnesota have gone to jail under the same law. Subcommittee Chairman Robert W.

Robert F. Froehlke.
