Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The National Service Trust Act of 1993: Hearings Before the Committee on Labor and Human Resources and the Subcommittee on Children, Family, Drugs and Alcoholism, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on S. 919; To Amend the National Community Service Act of 1990 to Es The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:35 a.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Kennedy (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Kennedy, Pell, Metzenbaum, Mikulski, Wellstone, Wofford, Kassebaum, Jeffords, Gregg, and Durenberger. Opening Statement of Senator Kennedy The Chairman. We´ll come to order. We want to thank all the representatives of the various service corps from different communities around the country for their attendance here today. We´re going to do our best to accommodate all of them; perhaps if our good friends in the press could move forward, we´ll violate the fire laws for just a few hours this morning and permit our young volunteers to join us. We apologize to our witnesses. We planned to start our hearing at 10:30, and at 9:30, the Foreign Relations Committee and the Armed Services Committee, of which I am a member also, held important hearings. So we have done the best we could to try and accommodate the different members´ interests, and thus we´ll move as quickly as possible to the witnesses now. Today, we will be hearing testimony in support of the President´s program on voluntary national service. I think all of us understand that one of the fundamental core values of our society has been voluntary service. This value dates to the founding of our country. Our Nation has always been at its best when it has served others. All of us are very mindful of the strong commitment that President Clinton has to this issue. He has elevated national service to one of his priorities as the President of the United States. It is an issue which drew bipartisan support in 1990 when this committee developed national and community service legislation. And Republicans and Democrats alike have been strongly committed not only at the national level, but at the State and local levels as well. So it is in that spirit that we consider the President´s proposal, and we are delighted to have the Interior Secretary with us, but before hearing from him, I will submit my full statement for the record and recognize Senator Kassebaum.
