Dear Mr. President.
I write this letter urging you to consider commuting the sentence of Jonathan Pollard.
I believe that a life sentence for the crime committed is very extreme. Though his crime was very serious, I hope you will once again look very carefully at this pending request.
Many others have written you on this matter. I join them in urging a commutation of his sentence.
Thank you considering this request.
With warm regards,
Dan Quayle
