Proclamation Granting Pardon to Stephen E. Buyer
To grant a pardon to Stephen E. Buyer for any federal offenses he may have committed, thereby restoring his civil rights and relieving him of any remaining legal consequences.

Both parties generally respect the President's discretion in individual pardons, as it serves the interests of justice and mercy without requiring legislative approval. No legislative action is needed, and the proclamation is consistent with historical practice.
