Proclamation 4483, also known as the Granting Pardon for Violations of the Selective Service Act, was a presidential proclamation issued by Jimmy Carter in January 1977. It granted pardons to those who evaded the draft in the Vietnam War by violating the Military Selective Service Act from August 4, 1964, to March 28, 1973. It was implemented through Executive Order 11967. During the Vietnam War, hundreds of thousands of American men evaded the draft by fleeing the country or failing to register with their local draft board. Jimmy Carter promised during his presidential campaign that he would pardon draft evaders of the Vietnam War, calling it the "single hardest decision" of his campaign. He signed the proclamation on January 21, 1977, his first full day in office. The proclamation did not offer amnesty to deserters. William Allen Rusher (July 19, 1923 - April 16, 2011) was an American lawyer, author, activist, and conservative columnist. He was one of the founders of the conservative movement and was one of its most prominent spokesmen for thirty years as publisher of National Review magazine, which was edited by William F. Buckley Jr. Historian Geoffrey Kabaservice argues that, "in many ways it was Rusher, not Buckley, who was the founding father of the conservative movement as it currently exists. We have Rusher, not Buckley, to thank for the populist, operationally sophisticated, that characterize the contemporary movement." Mark Odom Hatfield (July 12, 1922 - August 7, 2011) was an American politician and educator from the state of Oregon. A Republican, he served eight years as Governor of Oregon, followed by 30 years as one of its United States senators, including time as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. A native Oregonian, he served in the United States Navy in the Pacific Theater during World War II after graduating from Willamette University. After the war he earned a graduate degree from Stanford University before returning to Oregon and Willamette as a professor. While still teaching, Hatfield served in both houses of the Oregon Legislative Assembly. He won election to the Oregon Secretary of State's office at the age of 34 and two years later was elected as the 29th Governor of Oregon. He was the youngest person to ever serve in either of those offices, and served two terms as governor before election to the United States Senate. In the Senate he served for thirty years, and now holds the record for longest tenure of any Senator from Oregon. At the time of his retirement, he was seventh most senior Senator and the second most senior Republican. In 1968, he was considered a candidate to be Richard Nixon's running mate for the Republican Party presidential ticket. Hatfield served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations on two occasions. With this role, he was able to direct funding to Oregon and research-related projects. Numerous Oregon institutions, buildings and facilities are named in his honor, including the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse in Portland, the Mark O. Hatfield Library at Willamette University (his alma mater), the Hatfield Government Center light-rail station in Hillsboro, the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government in the College of Urban and Public Affairs at Portland State University, and the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Outside of Oregon, a research center at the National Institutes of Health is also named in his honor for his support of medical research while in the Senate. Arlie W. Schardt was a journalist and public interest activist. In his journalistic career, Schardt wrote and reported for United Press International and Time, where he covered the civil rights movement in the South. He traveled with Dr. Martin Luther King, covering the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. He contributed to Time cover stories on the 1968 Presidential campaign of Alabama Governor George Wallace and Federal Judge Frank Johnson. Schardt left Time to become associate Washington legislative director for the ACLU, leaving in 1974 to serve as executive director of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). Returning to journalism, Schardt served as News Media editor at Newsweek and editor of Foundation News magazine. He has contributed to three books on politics and national issues, including "Investigating the FBI" and "Amnesty, the Unsettled Question of Vietnam," which was a factor in President Jimmy Carter's granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of Vietnam war resisters.
