Calling all FReepers in and around the Ford Library in Michigan - RESEARCH KERRY'S DISCHARGE!!!

Do you have any colleagues who live near the Ford library in Michigan? Do they like to go through papers? Since I first wrote to you, I found out that there are there are even more boxes from the Ford Clemency Board. They contain titles such as "Recommendations, Set 1 (Approved 11/29/74); Recommendations, Set 2 (Approved 12/31/74); Recommendations, Set 3 (Approved 5/75 and 6/75) (1)-(3); Presidential Clemency Board Case Summaries (tons of these!!) ; Recommendations for Executive Clemency; Presidential Clemency Board File; Recommendations for Clemency from the Attorney General on Behalf of the Clemency Board, October 1975- January 1976; Recommendations for Clemency from the Attorney General, March 1976-January 1977. See how late it went? As I understand it, there may have been unresolved, holdover cases when Carter took office. (And not everyone was approved, either.) These files are listed on the library site (the titles, not documents)--and may well be public!!--not Kerry's personal Navy files.

I sure could be wrong, but my theory is that he applied earlier than Carter. He didn't know for sure who was going to be elected president in the mid-70's before the campaign. He knew the commission was going to expire. Anyone with common sense would act before the door was shut! So at least those files MAY not have been destroyed....
