Justice Kline worked with me to create the first municipal corps\nprogram in the country when I was Mayor of San Francisco. I believe Justice Kline's\nproposal provides the Administration with an opportunity to address the many\nemployment challenges we face as a nation.\nThe basic concept of the proposed expansion revolves around the fact that the\nNational Service Act provides that the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Urban\nDevelopment, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture can \"enter into\ncontracts and cooperative agreements with any qualified urban youth corps (as defined by\nthe National Service Act) to perform appropriate service projects\". I am urging the\nAdministration to do just that involve urban conservation corps in federal service\nprojects.\nBecause of the proliferation of conservation corps nationally, and because welfare\nreform will soon create a high need for employment opportunities for semi-skilled\nworkers, I believe this concept is not only timely, but necessary.\nBy involving conservation corps in federal projects, we innovatively address the\nchallenges of finding jobs for youth who need them, as well as create apprentice programs\nthat give workers the training they need to move forward into jobs in the private sector.\nThe appropriate federal agencies currently possess the legal authority to involve\nstate and local conservation corps in public works projects, and the funding used for these\nprojects has already been appropriated to the various agencies.\nI feel that this concept addresses our nation's need to engage large numbers of\nurban youth in forms of public service that will in turn create jobs, and in the process\nprovide opportunities to restore rapidly disintegrating urban environments.\nPOTUS\nDPC\nFRESNO OFFICE:\nLOS ANGELES OFFICE:\nSAN DIEGO OFFICE:\n1130 \"O\" STREET\n11111 SANTA MONICA BLVD.\n750 \"B\" STREET\nSUITE 2446\nSUITE 915\nSUITE 1030\nFRESNO, CA 93721\nLos ANGELES, CA 90025\nSAN DIEGO, CA 92101"
