I thought this incedent happened March 4, 1954 and didn't President Jimmy Carter parden them.

First of all, you should remember to sign these pages so people can talk to you if they need to. Second, according to this article, it was on the 1st and it says that "President Carter freed the Puerto Ricans in 1979 after they had served 25 years in prison. Although the Carter White House denied any connection, their release coincided with Fidel Castro's release of several Americans being held in Cuba on espionage charges." --Ricky81682 07:42, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)

True; the incident is described in the Congressional Record entry for the day, 1 March 1954. I've personally read it. Demf 02:38, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Umm...while it is true that Carter was not president in 1954, neither was Harry Truman. -Grammaticus Repairo 05:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wording?

"who shot thirty rounds of a Luger and automatic pistol" IMO "they shot thirty rounds using automatic pistols" is beter suted as a Luger is an Automatic pistol.

[edit] Photo?

Apparently there is a photo of the pages carrying Rep. Bently out of the line of fire, which is now hung somewhere in the Capitol. I've heard that it's rather famous, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I think it'd make a good adition to this article.
