Ronald Reagan actually said...

I have granted full and unconditional pardons to W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Miller.

They acted not with criminal intent, but in the belief that they had grants of authority reaching to the highest levels of government.

I am pleased to announce my intention to nominate Jon D. Holstine as Assistant Administrator.

We can be no less generous to two men who acted on high principle to bring an end to the terrorism that was threatening our nation.
