Hi Harvey,
Did you hear President Clinton on Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now today?
Amy Goodman asked him point blank about Leonard.
Here's what he said word for word:

Amy Goodman:
"What is your position on granting Leonard Peltier, the native american activist, executive clemency?"

President Clinton:
"Well, I don't have a position I can announce yet. I think, I believe, there is a new application for him in there, and when I have time, after the election is over, I'm going to review all the remaining executive clemency applications and, you know, see what the merits dictates. I will try to do what I think the right thing to do is based on the evidence, and I've never had the time actually to sit down myself and review that case. I know it is very important to a lot of people, maybe on both sides of the issue, and I think I owe it to them to give it an honest look see. So part of my responsibilities in the last ten weeks of office, after the election, will be to review the request for pardons and executive clemency and give them a fair hearing, and I pledge to do that."

Amy Goodman:
And you will give an answer in his case?

President Clinton:
"Oh yeah, I'll decide, one way or the other."

I'm going to forward this to as many people as possible with the White House number. We really need to focus our support now!

So Leonard's been in jail three times longer than Clinton's been in office, and he didn't have time? We can't quit now! Talk to you very soon.

Marc
