MORE THAN 100 PARDONS MADE BY CLINTON INCLUDE SUSAN MCDOUGAL, HENRY CISNEROS

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In one of his final acts, President Clinton on Saturday
pardoned more than 100 Americans, including his former Whitewater business
partner Susan McDougal and former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros,
officials said.

The list also was notable for the number of people it did not include.
Among them, sources said: Webster Hubbell, a former law partner of Hillary
Rodham Clinton; Jonathan Pollard, a former Navy analyst imprisoned for
spying for Israel; one-time Wall Street financier Michael Milken; and
Leonard Peltier, convicted of killing two FBI agents on an Indian
reservation in 1975.

Ms. McDougal went to prison rather than testify in the Whitewater
investigation.

Convicted at a 1996 trial where Mr. Clinton testified in her defense, Ms.
McDougal remained an unabashed supporter of the president, appearing on
national television in her orange prison jumpsuit to insist that Mr.
Clinton never engaged in illegal loans or other improper conduct as
prosecutors in Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's office sought to prove.

Her former husband, failed Arkansas savings and loan operator James
McDougal, also was convicted at the same trial but took a markedly
different path. He chose to cooperate with Mr. Starr's office and
implicated the Clintons in wrongdoing before his sudden death in prison.

Ms. McDougal never wavered, embarking on a campaign to portray Mr. Starr, a
Republican, as politically motivated, on a "personal vendetta" to pursue
the Clintons and disinterested in the truth. Mr. Starr and his staff
repeatedly denied those allegations.

She served only 3 1/2 months of a two-year prison term for her four felony
convictions before a federal judge released her because of a back problem.

But her freedom was short-lived. She defied a judge's order to answer
Whitewater prosecutor's questions before a federal grand jury and was
returned to jail for 18 months for civil contempt.

Frustrated she still wasn't cooperating, Mr. Starr's office decided to
prosecute Ms. McDougal for criminal contempt for obstructing the grand jury
probe. The jury deadlocked, and prosecutors decided not to retry her. Ms.
McDougal's pardon came just one day after the Whitewater investigation was
closed down under a deal in which Mr. Clinton gave up his law license and
admitted to giving false testimony under oath in return for prosecutor
agreeing not to indict him.

"She's absolutely delighted," said Ms. McDougal's lawyer, Mark Geragos.
"She is speechless for once in her life. And I think it is especially
poignant that it was one of the last acts of Bill Clinton's administration."

Mr. Cisneros was Clinton's first housing secretary. He resigned in 1996
amid an investigation into allegations that he lied to the FBI about
payments he made to a former mistress, Linda Medlar. In 1999, he pleaded
guilty to a misdemeanor charge.

Since leaving office, Mr. Cisneros served as head of Univision, the
nation's largest Spanish-language television network. Last year, he
returned to his native San Antonio to launch an organization to provide
housing for low-income families.

Sources said Mr. Clinton also pardoned his brother, Roger Clinton, who had
been convicted of a drug charge, as well as Hearst heiress Patty Hearst and
former Navajo Nation chief Peter MacDonald.

At age 19, Ms. Hearst was kidnapped in the 1970s by the radical Symbionese
Liberation Army. She later served part of a prison sentence for a bank
holdup in San Francisco before it was commuted by President Carter. She is
married to her former bodyguard, Bernard Shaw.

Mr. MacDonald, 72 years old, has been in a Fort Worth, Texas, medical
prison since his 1992 sentencing for his role in a Window Rock, Ariz., riot
that resulted in the deaths of two of his supporters in 1989.

Mr. MacDonald was removed from office for taking bribes and kickbacks. The
two supporters were killed on July 20, 1989, by tribal police during a
march to protest what they considered a coup against their leader. Mr.
MacDonald, his health deteriorating, has been serving a 14-year sentence
for inciting the deadly riot.
