Ehrlichman said they would appeal the ruling.

Vietnam Resisters Give Views on Amnesty Plan Jack Colhoun, 29, Watertown, N.Y., said if conditional amnesty were granted to include deserters, he would go back and use the opportunity to campaign more fully on behalf of war resisters.

Steven Trimm, 26, Albany, N.Y., said in Hamilton, Ont., conditional amnesty could be used as "a building block, a stepping stone to general amnesty." Trimm gained prominence earlier this year when he disclosed he had been living in Canada for four years while his family thought he was dead.
