Concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress in opposition to the grant of blanket amnesty or pardon for Vietnam related draft or military absence offenses.

Summary

Declares that it is the sense of Congress that a general or blanket amnesty or pardon for persons who committed draft or military absence offenses during our Nation's military involvement in Vietnam would represent a breach of faith with those who served honorably, particularly our honored war dead and their survivors, and should not be issued or granted by the President of these United States.
