PART 1--EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1.1  Submission of petition; form to be used; contents of petition.

    A person seeking executive clemency by pardon, reprieve, commutation 
of sentence, or remission of fine shall execute a formal petition. The 
petition shall be addressed to the President of the United States and 
shall be submitted to the Pardon Attorney, Department of Justice, 
Washington, DC 20530, except for petitions relating to military 
offenses. Petitions and other required forms may be obtained from the 
Pardon Attorney. Petition forms for commutation of sentence also may be 
obtained from the wardens of federal penal institutions. A petitioner 
applying for executive clemency with respect to military offenses should 
submit his or her petition directly to the Secretary of the military 
department that had original jurisdiction over the court-martial trial 
and conviction of the petitioner. In such a case, a form furnished by 
the Pardon Attorney may be used but should be modified to meet the needs 
of the particular case. Each petition for executive clemency should 
include the information required in the form prescribed by the Attorney 
General.
