Besides Milken, others who might receive pardons include Whitewater figure Susan McDougal and former Justice Department official Webster Hubbell. Clinton has used the constitutional right to grant pardons fewer times than any other president in this century.

Former Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., one-time powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was the most prominent of 59 men and women that Clinton pardoned Dec. 23 on their conviction of federal crimes, most involving drugs, taxes or fraud. Also among those pardoned were Archie Schaffer III, a chicken company executive convicted as a result of the investigation of former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy; and Rick Hendrick III, a NASCAR team owner, banished from the sport for a year after being sentenced for bribery and mail fraud. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
