THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release September 7, 1999

STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY

We have been informed today by the counsel for 12 individuals to whom the President granted conditional clemency that they are expected to sign the statement agreeing to all conditions of the clemency grant. Two individuals are not expected to accept the grant. The other two individuals who are not incarcerated but whose fines would be remitted by the President's clemency grant have until the September 10, 1999 deadline to respond.

The President expects all those who accept the conditional clemency grant to abide fully by its terms, including refraining from the use or advocacy of the use of violence for any purpose and obeying all the statutory conditions of parole.
