Dear Mr. President:
Moises Loza
Housing Assistance Council
Joe McNeely
The National Neighborhood Coalition commends your
Development Training Institute (DTI)
Baltimore, MD
leadership in proposing a National Service initiative.
Secretary
In your economic plan, "A Vision of Change for
Kathy Desmond
Community Information Exchange
America", the description about National Service
Treasurer
states on page 58 that it "will help Americans take

low-paying community service jobs and still pay off
Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now (ACORN)
their student loans". It's a perfect match for college

However, we are concerned about one feature in the
Coalition

plan as outlined by your Administration. It calls for
National Trust for Historic
Preservation
a differential in benefits between those who are
Paul Brophy
college graduates and those who do not plan to attend

college or plan to defer their college education.

This differential sets a double standard by implying

that national service by some people with higher

education degrees is more important than national
Deborah Crain
service by others without degrees. Furthermore, it

seems to emphasize differences along class lines. Many

students from inner-city neighborhoods -- particularly
National Urban League

minorities -- come from families which cannot afford

to pay for college. Therefore, these young people
