ENGLISH, MINORITY STAFF DIRECTOR July 17, 1996 The Honorable Dan Glickman Secretary U.S. Department of Agriculture Washington, D.C. 20250 Dear Mr. Secretary: As outlined in your letter of May 30, 1996, the Department of Agriculture proposes to reprogram $5.4 million of Forest Service funds for the AmeriCorps program activities. Your request is in conformance with Section 312 of the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 prohibiting the use of funds for AmeriCorps programs unless the approval of the Appropriations Committees is obtained. The funding amount identified in this reprogramming request assumes a June 1 start date. At a minimum, it would require two or three weeks to begin the AmeriCorps program, leaving the Forest Service with a two- or three-month program. The agency is at the peak of its field season and the fire season is underway. Employees who would have been available for supervising the enrollees are well along with their field work or involved with fire duties. Due to the delay of the FY 1996 appropriations bill, many of the program tasks have been accomplished outside of the AmeriCorps program and much of the work that would have been performed by the enrollees is completed. Considering the lateness of the FY 1996 appropriations bill, the ability to accomplish meaningful work, and the necessity to move forward on the agency's field work without disruption, the reprogramming request is denied. The funds should remain in the program line items to accomplish the program missions as Congress intended. The agency is encouraged to use such tools as volunteers and the challenge cost-share program to make its dollars go further. As discussed in our recent meetings, it is anticipated that the agency will be impacted by declining budgets in future years. The Forest Service should continue to exercise caution to ensurc program objectives are carried out using the most efficient and effective means. Sincerely, What Robert C. Byrd Slade Gorton Ranking Minority Member Chairman Subcommittee on Interior Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies and Related Agencies To: Ralph Morales, Gene Sofer, Hank Oltman From: Joel Berg 9B 8 pages, including this cover Information for response to Congressman Tiahrt 1) Six AmeriCorps Members started full-time at the site in Tiahrt's district last year; four finished their complete term. Because we were so tough as managers, we did not grant even a pro-rated educational award to either drop-out, even though one had completed 1,200 hours (70%) of the service year. (See attached print out from the USDA AmeriCorps Member database) 2) The project met or exceeded all of its original community service objectives. Achievements included: rehabilitating 98 acres of recreation area, repairing 184 picnic tables, establishing 330 plants and trees, repairing three boat docks, rehabilitating five playgrounds, , building 40 campfire rings, and removing 4,000 pounds of debris. (See attached print-out from the USDA community service objectives database) 3) The Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks, which is overseen by an appointee of the Republican Governor of Kansas, has written many letters of support for the projects in Kansas, including the one in Mr. Tiahrt's district. (See attached example) 4) Mr. Tiahrt's staff did not respond when we invited them to visit the site with me when I visited Kansas. To our knowledge, neither Mr. Tiahrt nor his staff ever visited a USDA AmeriCorps site. 5) While we don't have any news clips about this particular (very rural) operating site, attached are clips about very similar sites just outside of Tiahart's district. Note that one of our AmeriCorps Members courageously saved someone's life. Call me at 720-5746 with any questions. July 14, 1997 MEMORANDUM FOR JOEL BERG FROM: RON DE MUNBRUN SUBJECT: AmeriCorps Project at Cheney Reservoir in Kansas - OP Site X20B The USDA AmeriCorps site, X20B, at the Cheney Reservoir in Kansas had a total of six members. Four members completed the full term of 1700 hours of service. One member completed 1,203 hours of service but left for a non-compelling reason and therefore did not receive an education award. One member left after completing 211 hours of service and did not receive an education award. The team had a total of 30 objectives and they met their goals for each of these objectives. Attached is a list of the members and the objectives.

Senator Grassley, and Congressman Lewis to examine the relationship between USDA and the Corporation for National Service regarding the AmeriCorps program. At this time in America, it is critical that government operate ethically and above board, without the intent, act or perception of wrongdoing. However, as I am certain you will find, the relationship between USDA, CNS and the AmeriCorps projects administered at the state level is reasonable and desirable. This partnership allows rural Americans to perform needed community services for an honest wage and broaden their potentials for the future in the process. When these AmeriCorps members have completed their educations, they will be ready to take their places as productive members of society, with not only the classwork behind them, but also the experience earned in the successful completion of their AmeriCorps projects. Without the assistance of the USDA and CNS, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks would'not be able to hire these young people, lacking the funding to do so. The department can, however, provide raw materials, tools and supervision. Important projects underway now, and others that might be completed in the future, would die without being completed. Rural communities would lose the employment options provided by AmeriCorps, the public would lose the benefits provided to the natural resources and outdoor recreation projects, and the individuals who would have been selected as members would lose valuable opportunities. The language proposed by USDA correlares to previous agreements, and fully supports the principles under which AmeriCorps was conceived, while ending the transfer of operating funds from CNS to USDA. No additional funding is needed to support the AmeriCorps program, and the positive impact it makes is tremendous. I hope that you will find that you are able to fully support continuation of AmeriCorps as a viable program important to the American people. Sincerely, PM Assistant Secretary for Operations RM/kp R.

Leahy CORPORATION SR-443 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, D.C., 20510-4502 FOR NATIONAL Dear Senator Patrick Leahy, SERVICE As you know, for the past two years, several federal agencies have operated national service programs supported by operational funds transferred by the Corporation. Several months ago, the Corporation determined not to provide operational grants to federal agencies in the future. While AmeriCorps participants who successfully complete a term of service will be eligible for an education award from the National Service Trust, no Corporation funds will be transferred to federal agencies. We have concluded that federal agencies retain statutory authority to administer national service programs even in the absence of an operational grant from the Corporation. The National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended, provides as follows: The Corporation may enter into a contract or cooperative agreement with another Federal agency to support a national service program carried out by the agency. The support provided by the Corporation pursuant to the contract or cooperative agreement may include the transfer to the Federal agency of funds available to the Corporation under this division. 42 U.S.C. $ 12571(b)(1). We interpret this provision as giving the Corporation authority to enter into agreements with federal agencies to support national service programs, with the understanding that such agreements need not include the transfer of funds. It is our view that the National and Community Service Act reflects Congressional intent to provide authority to federal agencies to operate national service programs -- regardless of whether operational funds are transferred from the Corporation to the federal agencies. The fact that the Corporation has now determined not to make direct grants to support the operation of national service programs carried out by federal agencies in no way affects the statutory authority of such agencies to carry out such programs pursuant to an agreement with the Corporation. It is my understanding that the Department of Agriculture has independently concluded that the National and Community Service Act authorizes its on-going operation of a national service program even in the absence of an operational grant.

C. 20510-1501 Dear Senator Grassley, I would like to bring you up to date on our efforts to significantly expand the use of education award only programs, and propose that we meet to discuss one particular aspect of this effort. Following our agreement last spring, we notified all state National Service Commissions of the education award only opportunity and we have been discussing it with State Commission Executive Directors around the country, with major non-profit organizations, and with college and university leaders. We will now very shortly announce the AmeriCorps Education Awards Program, making up to 5000 education awards available under this creative initiative. We envision a simplified application process, greater flexibility for participating programs, and reduced reporting burdens, as well as dramatically reduced federal costs. We are launching an aggressive outreach effort to bring this program to the attention of the independent sector, institutions of higher education, and others. I am enclosing the federal register announcement which includes program summary information. The matter I want to discuss with you relates to my wish to ensure that rural America has a full opportunity to participate in this program. As I believe you are aware, for the past two years the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has successfully utilized more than a thousand AmeriCorps Members in local, rural service programs. These programs evidence remarkable achievements because of their success in leveraging unpaid community volunteers, and because AmeriCorps Members have proven their effectiveness in accomplishing important anti-hunger, rural development, and natural resource management objectives. As you also know, we have ceased all Corporation program grants to federal agencies, including USDA. Secretary Glickman, however, hopes to be able to continue the USDA's service programs using USDA appropriations and voluntary local contributions -- without any grant support from the Corporation for National Service. 1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington.

AmeriCorps, National Service Learn and Serve America National Senior Service Corps 09/05/96 11:15 2025652783 CORP NATL SVC 003 Honorable Charles Grassley Page two September 4, 1996 He assures me that these programs will continue to be developed and managed at the community level to respond to local needs and concerns, and that, with few exceptions, these efforts involve the active partnership of community-based organizations. The question is whether our National Service Trust can continue to make available education awards to assist the education of men and women serving full-time in these USDA programs. I hope very much that you and Senator Bond will agree that the continued availability of education awards for participants in these USDA service programs is appropriate. Let me give further background. We are statutorily required to emphasize programs that serve rural areas. In the majority of our rural programming we have done so through these USDA programs - in part because many needy rural communities do not have a range of non-profit community organizations in a position to take on the responsibility of developing and managing AmeriCorps programs. If the USDA is not able to continue its national service efforts, there will be a loss of many effective rural service programs. Since the education award has been a key part of the appeal in recruiting service participants, its availability is vital to the continuation of these programs. Let me emphasize again that this approach would not involve a grant from the Corporation or any transfer of Corporation funds - to USDA. The USDA service participants would receive their living allowance from the USDA. We have the authority to treat such USDA participants as holding national service positions and therefore being entitled to the $4725 education awards after successfully completing their service. Like other education award recipients, the participants do not get the money themselves (nor does it go through USDA). Instead, the money goes from the National Service Trust to colleges, universities, and vocational schools to pay the recipient's education costs or to lending institutions to help pay existing education loans. I understand that Senator Leahy, who was instrumental in the development of the USDA Anti-Hunger Corps as well as other rural initiatives that have involved AmeriCorps Members, supports this approach to continuing to meet unmet needs in too-often neglected rural areas, and I hope you will offer your support as well. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this further, and I know Secretary Glickman would be glad to join me to meet with you as well. 09/05/96 11:16 2025652783 CORP NATL SVC 1 004 Honorable Charles Grassley Page three September 4, 1996 Chuck, thank you again for your leadership in helping to make national service a program in which all Americans can take pride.

I would not support an arrangement reinstating a joint program with AmeriCorps Members working at the USDA. AS you know, the end of grants to federal agencies is an operative element of our agreement. Though the argument could be made that funding the operating costs of a joint USDA/AmeriCorps program from a surplus account at USDA may not literally violate our agreement, I feel than such accounting would serve to violate the spirit and intent of that agreement. The General Accounting Office measured the average cost per participant ac federal agency grant programs as exceeding $30.000. I do not feel that naxpayers will be comforted to know that their government would finance such expensive programs by using two respective accounts ar. USDA and AmeriCorps instead of the tormer singularly AmeriCorps approach. I think that taxpayers expect that these expensive programs have ended. Committee Assignments: FINANCE JUDICIARY BUDGET Even if it were possible to run an efficient and effective jointly funded program, I believe that taxpayers would perceive our efforts to reinstate these failed programs as a general abandonment of reform. Indeed. I think that my acquiescence to a continued AmeriCorps program at USDA may be perceived by some of my colleagues as an abandonment of my commitment to effective oversight of the programs. Finally, I am not convinced that this is an appropriate time for USDA to be undertaking additional financial responsibilities beyond the recently appropriated level. Since the Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee for Agriculture seems to have made no specific appropriation for an AmeriCorps program, and since the Subcommittee likely believes that sacrifices were made so chat it could reach its outlay targets for USDA, I find it difficult to support an idea that a new financial endeavor should be undertaken by an already financially challenged USDA. It will be a long road toward recovery and attainment of AmeriCorps' full potential. I am happy to continue CO help you along that path. Sincerely, Chuck Chuck Grassley United States Senator NOV 14 '96 11:10 FR TO 97204614 P.02/03 PATRICK LEAHY VERMONT COMMITTEES: AGRICULTURE, NUTRITION, AND FORESTRY United States Senate APPROPRIATIONS JUDICIARY WASHINGTON, DC 20510-4502 October 21. 1996 The Honorable Kit Bond Chairman Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on VA, HUD and Independent Agencies Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Kit. I am writing to follow up on my letter to you last April and our conversation regarding USDA sponsored Amer-Corps programs that took place during conference on the Appropriations bill for the VA. HUD and Independent Agencies. I hope that you can provide the clarification that is needed for USDA sponsored AmeriCorps programs to continue under the leadership of local organizations and land managers. These programs have brought new volunteer efforts to every corner of rural Vermont--- areas difficult to reach through traditional nonprofit organizations. The Department of Agriculture would like to build on the success of their AmeriCorps programs in keeping with the requirement that National Service funds should not be transferred to Federally run programs. Already local organizations play an active role in most USDA AmeriCorps programs. The Department intends to transfer authority for running all of its AmeriCorps programs to the local non-profits or land managers involved in those programs. while continuing to offer technical assistance and financial support. However, National Service education awards are needed to allow this new partnership to move forward. To be clear. the Corporation for National Service interprets current law as allowing the Corporation "to enter into agreements with federal agencies to support national service programs. with the understanding that such agreements need not include the transfer of funds." Providing education awards for USDA sponsored programs would result in no funds being transferred to any federal agency. Those awards, like all National Service education awards would be set-aside on behalf of individual participants in the program and would go directly to approved institutions of higher education or lending agencies from the National Service Trust. The Department of Agriculture would fund all necessary costs for operating these programs and paying member stipends from funds already appropriated to it by the Congress. No "new" money is needed. The uncertainty about providing National Service "education only" awards to participants in USDA supported programs has left around 1,000 prospective members in limbo. Equally important, the delay has left countless residents of rural areas without the assistance these members would bring to rural communities.

With the assistance of the AmeriCorps Fire Technical Team, Vermont's Rural Fire Protection Task Force was able to install 44 dry fire hydrants, lowering insurance rates by about $76 per year for 1,600 home owners living in rural areas of the state. That translates into over $7 of savings for every $1 spent on the program. The AmeriCorps programs sponsored by USDA in Vermont have provided valuable assistance to poor rural residents. I hope that you will be able to provide the clarification that is needed to build on the success of these programs while we discuss options for sustaining them in the future.

Such an agreement would enable the most successful of these projects to convert to a new arrangement, starting in the next program year (fiscal year 1998), in which they would receive funding directly from the Corporation for National Service or from Governor-appointed State commissions of national service. As you know, in the past 2 years, USDA has provided aid to hundreds of communities--most of which are rural--to allow those communities to utilize AmeriCorps members for projects focused on fighting hunger, promoting economic development, and aiding the environment and public lands. As we discussed in our meeting on September 13, 1996, USDA is continuing to seek a compromise that would allow high quality local projects to continue now that USDA no longer receives a grant of operating funds from the Corporation for National Service. Hundreds of USDA supported community service projects in over 40 States were scheduled to be completed this year. As in previous years, these projects would have focused on boosting rural community development, improving human nutrition, and protecting the environment. AmeriCorps members would have also worked to recover excess food; I would note that such efforts would be greatly enhanced by the Bill Emerson Food Donation Act that you championed in the Senate. However, all these projects have been placed on hold pending our efforts to identify a mutually- acceptable compromise regarding the future of community service projects previously supported by USDA. It has been suggested that Congress could consider this matter early next year. Unfortunately, unless we are able to reach a resolution on this issue by December 31, 1996, the projects planned for this year cannot proceed, because AmeriCorps members would not be able to complete the required 1,700 hours term of service by the end of this fiscal year on such an abbreviated schedule. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Honorable Christopher Bond 2 Corporation for National Service and state commission funds have already been committed and application deadlines have already passed for this year (fiscal year 1997). Thus, it will not be possible to continue the projects now on hold without some financial and logistical support from USDA for at least 1 year of transition. Pursuant to the mandate of Congress, the Corporation for National Service is no longer making grants to Federal agencies; USDA is not seeking to obtain such a grant. Rather, USDA is requesting that the Corporation for National Service sign a 1-year cooperative agreement providing non-monetary assistance to USDA, enabling service projects supported and paid for by USDA to have the legal ability to continue and the graduates of those projects to be able to obtain educational awards. I hope you will agree that a 1-year transition period is a sensible compromise that would minimize disruption in hundreds of communities across America, particularly rural America, by changes in the role of USDA in supporting projects utilizing AmeriCorps members. A substantial bipartisan group of Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives have contacted USDA and the Corporation for National Service to request that we find some way to continue the effective community service projects in their States and districts. Therefore, I believe there would be significant bipartisan support in both houses of Congress for the compromise we have proposed. I would greatly appreciate your prompt response in this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. An identical letter has been sent to Senators Mikulski and Grassley.

The National Association of Service and Conservation Corps (NASCC) wishes to point out that young people -- voting constituents -- in these states will suffer from a loss of opportunities if the spending ban holds, to a far greater degree than will the AmeriCorps program. Youth corps have entered into partnership plans with the Forest Service to provide job training, education, and service opportunities for young people. Staff of those youth corps face the difficult task of explaining why already-appropriated, modest federal resources cannot be used to conduct vitally needed projects to improve ecosystem health and provide more recreational options for the public. At least four courses of action are open to the Interior Appropriations conferees, in descending order of preference: Remove or soften language in Section 312 (of H.R. 3662 and the draft Senate Appropriations Committee Report) which currently requires the Departments of Interior and/or Agriculture to follow appropriate reprogramming guidelines, as well as language which currently makes Interior agency support conditional upon a CNS appropriation in VA/HUD bill; Insert language in the conference report that clarifies the terms under which a request for reprogramming could succeed.

I would not support an arrangement reinstating a joint program with AmeriCorps Members working at the USDA. As you know, the end of grants to federal agencies is an operative element of our agreement. Though the argument could be made that funding the operating costs of a joint USDA/AmeriCorps program Erom a surplus account at USDA may not literally violate our agreement. I feel that such accounting would serve to violate the spirit and intent of that agreement. The General Accounting Office measured the average cost per participant at federal agency grant programs as exceeding $30,000. I do not feel that taxpayers will be comforted to know that their government would finance such expensive programs by using two respective accounts ar. USDA and AmeriCorps instead of the tormer singularly AmeriCorps approach. I think chat taxpayers expect that these expensive programs have ended. Committee Assignments: FINANCE JUDICIARY BUDGET UJ LJ JU 11.20AM IV 90002104 00007000 Even if it were possible to run an efficient and effective jointly funded program, I believe that taxpayers would perceive our efforts to reinstate these failed programs as a general abandonment of reform. Indeed. I think that my acquiescence to a continued AmeriCorps program at USDA may be perceived by some of my colleagues as an abandonment of my commitment to effective oversight of the programs. Finally. I am not convinced that this is an appropriate time for USDA to be undertaking additional financial responsibilities beyond the recently appropriated level. Since the Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee for Agriculture seems to have made no specific appropriation for an AmeriCorps program, and since the Subcommittee likely believes that sacrifices were made so that it could reach its outlay targets for USDA, I find it difficult to support an idea that a new financial endeavor should be undertaken by an already financially challenged USDA. It will be a long road toward recovery and attainment of AmeriCorps' full potential. I am happy to continue CO help you along that path.

For the last two years, USDA, through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has utilized the services of various individuals serving as Americorps Members in Navajo County. These folks have furthered the cause of resource conservation with local individuals and groups by serving in roles that NRCS has never employed, except as volunteers (and as such, with very limited success). Americorps workers under USDA-NRCS have established the need for a continuing demonstration of sustainable agriculture in this remote part of rural Arizona. Our Demonstration Farm has a capable farm manager available at this time that will continue the work of the last two years: over 350 people visited the Farm in 1996 alone, and the Farm newsletter "As it Grows" is currently mailed to over 300 people. Numerous classes from local schools and tours from the surrounding area (including the Navajo Nation) get first-hand experience here on what goes into the production of the nation's food. Our new designated farm manager cannot begin work because it is our understanding that Senator Bond and Senator Grasley do not feel that the Americorps program warrants participation by USDA. Be assured that the Americorps program is serving the concerns of rural Arizona. We ask for your support in continuing the USDA-Americorps partnership in Navajo County.

Please convey my appreciation directly to the Americorps volunteers. As you know, I visited Beatrice the weekend after the tornado struck and surveyed the extensive damage and the large amount of debris created by the storm. The participation of the volunteers from Americorps certainly made the difference in the cleanup process. The Americorps/Team USDA are to be commended for their work to remove debris from the Homestead National Monument and from Pioneer Acres. Their flexibility and quick response to the overwhelming need in Beatrice is an example of the good that Americorps was created to do. Thank you again for your assistance in this matter.

After several phone calls to Washington I am beginning to understand some of what is happening and how it it affects us in Gonzales. Based on these phone conversations, I am under the impression that the Americorps Program as such is alive and well. However, the portion that is funded through grants from Corporation for National Service (CNS) to USDA has been eliminated. It is further understood that this is the direct result of concerns raised by Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond of Missouri. In order to meet concerns raised by Senator Bond and others, CNS will no longer make grants of operating funds to Federal agencies. The legal result of this policy is that USDA funding source (operating funds transferred from CNS to USDA) has been eliminated. The USDA AmeriCorps program, including our program and other projects in Texas, has been put on hold pending discussions. The success of the Gonzales AmeriCorps program was conveyed in the previous correspondence. This success happened only because of the support of USDA. We did not possess the manpower to make these successes happen. We do not foresee being able to budget additional manpower to continue the program in the absence of USDA assistance. Our focus on housing and workforce training will continue, but some other part of the job description of Main Street or Economic Development will have to be prioritized out. These two departments including all clerical duties are being handled by one employee. This lack of manpower exists with all rural communities and prohibits them from focusing on all community and economic opportunities that arise. 820 St. Joseph Street Gonzales, Texas 78629 Phone: (210) 672-2815 Fax: (210) 672-2813 P.O.

The budget required for their communities to accomplish community and economic development is nominal at best. The loss to these communities is monumental. It is additionally understood that new legislation is not necessary and additional appropriations are not required to continue the USDA AmeriCorps program. Therefore, I stress the importance of approval from Senator Bond on this issue. This is a very complicated issue. I am not sure that I have all the necessary information. Please search out all sides of this issue from USDA, CNA, Senator Bond, etc. in order to determine if we can access this program for the 1996-1997 year. Sincerely, Sandra I.Maublin Sandra F.

The non-profit organization is intended to accomplish improvements in the four areas that include housing, recreation, economic development and education for a quality work force. In addition the Community Empowerment Board encourages citizens participation in solving community problems and planning for the future. The Community Empowerment Board applied for an Americorps Member for 1995-1996, and made great strides during this program time. The member is sponsored by the City of Gonzales. An accounting is enclosed for your reference. We were so pleased with our successes in housing and economic development that we applied for a second program year. We are further along with education and are looking forward to accomplishments in this area also. However, now we learn that the funding for our portion of the Americorps Program is in jeopardy because of Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond of Missouri. Several other communities such as Luling and Hallettsville had hoped for an Americorps Member for the next year. You have been involved and supportive of our program in the past. We ask if you could determine the reasoning for Senator Bond's position. We thank you in advance for any and all assistance you may be able to give. We look forward to a reply. Sincerely, Deidra Voigt Council, District 3 City of Gonzales P.O. Drawer 547 820 St. Joseph Street Gonzales. Texas 78629 Phone: (210) 672-2815 Fax: (210) 672-2813 Gonzales, is a Champion Community under the Federal Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community initiative. The Community Empowerment Board applied to the United States Department of Agriculture for an Americorps member to work in local areas of community improvements for the 1996-1997 year. Applications are being solicited subject to final notification of funding. Gonzales currently has an Americorps member in the 1995-1996 program year, and the accomplishments have benefitted the City's community and economic development. The following are accomplishments or successes for this past one year term. The member helped develop a survey of housing in Gonzales. A house by house identification of properties was accomplished. This includes possible ways to utilize vacant lots, historical houses, substandard structures, etc. A database of this information was developed and coordinated with the Gonzales County Appraisal District to identify ownership and cross reference properties for timely information retrieval. The member assisted in a housing survey to identify the need for rental and purchase property. This survey was accomplished in cooperation with the top three employers in Gonzales. This program provided the Assistance in developing a video of neighborhood participation in the Gonzales Housing Program. The video was used to support an application for a Federal Home Loan grant. The Gonzales Americorps member served with, and assisted the Housing Rehabilitation Citizens Committee. The member helped develop a contractor's packet to show opportunities for local contractors. This was also associated with the Federal Home Loan grant. The program provided assistance in developing a database for use in creating business proposals for businesses interested in expanding or relocating in Gonzales. It has allowed the local economic developers to respond quickly and professionally to requests by companies interested in Gonzales for expansion or relocation. The Americorps member participated and helped with Community Empowerment Board Activities and assisted with the Housing Initiative made up of realtors, bankers, lawyers, architects, contractors, and community leaders to address various housing needs of Gonzales. In a nutshell this has helped create awareness of the housing need and urge citizen participation on the various committees. Record keeping duties included maintaining a file of reporting to the State and National Office for the Americorps Program and helping organize a visual presentation for the meeting with Clifford J. Diehl from the General Accounting Office for the U.S House of Representatives. The Gonzales Americorps member participanted in a project cluster meeting hosted by the Enterprise Zone Office in Mercedes, Texas, a community service project benefitting the Head Start Program in Weslaco, Texas, and a project cluster meeting sponsored by the Rural Development Office. This was followed by a community service project benefitting owners of sub-standard housing in Hebbronville, Texas. Navajo County Natural Resource Conservation District 51 W.

EnviroCorps is a USDA/AmeriCorps program that works with local sponsors on environmental education and enhancement in the Portland area. In the last year alone, this twenty-member team improved 23 acres of wetland, planted 3,367 trees and shrubs, recruited 1,795 volunteers, led 1,159 students on service learning projects, canvassed 10,326 homes in Portland to disconnect their downspouts to reduce. sewage overflow and filled 2,000 sandbags during the February floods to protect buildings and the sewage treatment facility. EnviroCorps works with local partners such as Metro Regional Government, the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, Portland State University, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services, the Environmental Middle School, Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center, Friends of Trees, Friends of Smith and Bybee, local business owners and others. The reason for the funding delay is complicated but stems from concems that the USDA cannot effectively run AmeriCorps programs. The USDA is currently seeking to reach a consensus with Senators Christopher Bond (MO) and Charles Grassley (IA), to allow USDA to continue to provide technical assistance, funding, and administrative support services to AmeriCorps programs. Program funds have already been set aside, no additional funds are necessary and projects and work done by EnviroCorps are chosen by the team and its local partners, not by the USDA. EnviroCorps is currently waiting to start its third year but cannot do so until consensus is reached. The delay in funding has already caused several qualified candidates to seek employment elsewhere and left EnviroCorps unable to provide support and assistance to its local partners. Further delays may jeopardize the future of EnviroCorps. Anything that your office can do to help bring about this consensus would be greatly appreciated by the community that benefits from their spirit of volunteerism. Thank you. LaMance MDM Jeff Dallaire LaMarr Cannon AND UNITED STATES SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE {COPY PREVIOUSLY SENT BY FAX} March 6, 1996 The Honorable Charles E. Grassley United States Senate 135 Hart Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Attention: Mr. Dean Zerbe Dear Senator Grassley: This letter is in response to the request of Mr. Dean Zerbe of your office, made by telephone on February 29, 1996, that the Department of Agriculture ("USDA") provide to you in writing the answers to several questions that you have concerning the USDA AmeriCorps program and the AmeriCorps/USDA First Annual Report (the "Report"). Specifically, Mr. Zerbe posed three questions, which may be fairly phrased as follows: 1. What are the legal authorities for USDA to produce the Report? 2. What was the cost to USDA of producing the Report? 3. What was the amount and cost of staff time that was required to produce the Report? Printed below are our responses to these questions: 1. What are the legal authorities for USDA to produce the Report? These are several authorities, both specific and general, that USDA relied upon in producing the Report. The most specific authority is found at Section C.21 of Interagency Cooperative Agreement No. 94ADFDC047 (the "Agreement"), dated October 19, 1994, between the Corporation for National and Community Service (the "Corporation") and USDA. This section, a copy of which we are including with this letter {Attachment "A"}, was the legal instrument by which the Corporation provided assistance to USDA to run an AmeriCorps program pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 12571(b)(1). Section C.21 (Reporting Requirements) of the Agreement expressly requires USDA, as a recipient of assistance from the Corporation, to prepare an Annual Report that provides a summary of the program's accomplishments and service for the year. The information contained in the Report is used, in turn, by the Corporation in its report to Congress, which is mandated by 42 U.S.C. § 12632(b). In addition to the specific authority contained in the Agreement, general authority to produce such reports may be found at 7 U.S.C. § 2207, which authorizes USDA to make reports from time to time on particular subjects, and at 7 U.S.C. § 2201, which generally authorizes USDA to disseminate information on activities within its purview. (2) 2. What was the cost to USDA of producing the Report? As a consequence of our efforts to produce the Report for the lowest possible cost by utilizing only one color of ink, one color of paper, non-gloss paper, and only one photograph, the Report was produced at a minimal cost to the American taxpayer -- less than a $4,387 total cost for printing, design, lay out, and shipping. The total cost for printing all copies of the Report was $2,837. The total cost of salary and supplies to pay for the in-house design, lay out, and camera- ready production of the Report was $1,050. Additional shipping costs including envelopes, postage, and stationery for the cover letters were no more than $500. Thus, these combined costs for designing, printing, and mailing the Report were no more than $4,387. 3. What was the amount and cost of staff time that was required to produce the Report? Pursuant to Section C.21 of the Agreement, all USDA AmeriCorps projects were required to submit four quarterly progress reports to USDA. Given the pre-existence of this requirement and the fact that the Report was based solely on a compilation of these reports, individual USDA AmeriCorps projects spent little or no significant additional staff time compiling the Report. As Director of National Service, USDA, I personally compiled, wrote, and designed the first version of the report; the activities required approximately 110 hours of my time, many of which were at night, during weekends, and during holidays. Since I do not receive any compensation for any overtime hours I work, little or no additional tax dollars were spent on staff time to produce this report. I hope this information will assure you that USDA has taken every possible step to significantly reduce costs at the same time we meet our requirement to inform the Corporation, state commissions, and other entities about the progress of our AmeriCorps projects. I would be pleased to also provide any information you might request about the success of USDA AmeriCorps projects in Iowa or nationally. Additionally, I would like to offer an open invitation to you and/or your staff to visit any USDA AmeriCorps sites either in Iowa or elsewhere in the country on any occasion that is convenient for you. Please contact me again at (202) 720-5746 if you would like to arrange such a visit or if you require additional information. I thank you for your interest in our program.

USDA AMERICORPS PROJECTS RELATED TO SOIL AND WATER QUALITY (1994-1995 Program Year) USDA AmeriCorps projects sponsored by the Forest Service and the Agricultural Research Service performed environmental and conservation tasks on Federal land. Projects sponsored by the Natural Resources Conservation Service performed tasks on private land and state land. In the first year of operation, AmeriCorps Members in these projects: Performed flood recovery work on over 75,300 acres of land --- including lands damaged by the great Midwest floods of 1993 and 1995 ---- and treated 20,460 acres with flood prevention measures. Achieved 6,176 acres of wildlife habitat improvement; built 133 structures to shelter or protect wildlife; built 296 nesting boxes for birds; and constructed a greenhouse for threatened and endangered plants. Cleaned up debris and other materials from 178 community sites, covering a total of 900 acres. Provided 885 farmers and other landowners with one-on-one assessments through the Farm* Syst program to help them voluntarily identify practices that lead to water pollution; as a result, 318 practices were changed to reduce the risk of groundwater pollution. Completed 24 "Adopt-a-Watershed" projects; these projects organize groups of volunteers --- usually recruited from local schools or non-profit organizations to systematically monitor local water quality and recommend conservation methods to rectify water quality problems. Built 11 flood fences to prevent future flooding. Improved 760 acres of fisheries habitat. Maintained 6,336 feet of streambank to prevent erosion. Released 775,000 salmon fry in a fish-stocking operation this quarter. Constructed a major National Forest visitor information center. Completed conservation planning for 25,554 acres of land. Protected 67,843 acres of coastal land through conservation measures. Applied forestry conservation practices to 2,000 acres of private and state-owned forest lands. Conducted 28 detailed assessments of grasslands, resulting in plans to preserve 31 acres. Improved salmon habitats at ten sites. Developed 152 nutrient management plans and treated 14,300 acres to protect water quality. Planted 110,400 trees, including 64,650 trees in 20 miles of windbreaks along the Great Plains. Implemented 13 sustainable agriculture projects which applied conservation practices to 8,471 acres of land. Restored 25,075 acres of wetlands. Provided conservation education to 88,373 students in grades K-12. Installed or enhanced 18 outdoor classrooms for youth activities. Improved watersheds damaged by wildfire by cutting and planting 92,500 willows in riparian areas (areas surrounding rivers and streams) to prevent further erosion. The following are some significant accomplishments of selected sites: * On Maryland's Eastern Shore, Members completed projects that improved wildlife habitat; collected soil samples and scouted for pests on area farms; constructed wildlife trails; planted marsh grass to prevent soil erosion; built fences and cleared trails in state parks; and inventoried fish habitats. * In Baytown, Texas, Members provided coastal and shoreline protection in the Galveston Bay area, creating an island that serves both as habitat for an endangered species and as a demonstration of productive uses of dredge material; grew thousands of plant materials for stabilizing the land; and planted 220 acres of the island. They also planted 500 native species of trees at the Anahuac wildlife refuge; cultivated and planted 800 black mangrove trees for shoreline protection and wildlife habitat at the Christmas Bay Coastal Reserve; and protected historical buildings in Morgan's Point by planting 400 square feet of smooth cordgrass. * In Belleville, Illinois, Members stabilized over 4,000 feet of stream and road damaged by massive flooding in 1993. * In Goldendale, Washington, Members worked to improve salmon habitat by building 6.5 miles of fence to improve riparian areas; planting 600 trees; and installing four structures to retain sediment. * In Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding suburbs, Members have installed an irrigation center at a community greenhouse; potted 25,000 plants for use in schools, parks, and beautification projects for the Olympics; improved outdoor education centers for six public schools through a wide variety of projects, including construction of 375 feet of wheelchair-access trails; planting 190 plants and 30 trees; and clearing one mile of trail. * Across rural Nebraska, Members removed an old wheelchair-access boardwalk and constructed a new one; provided environmental education to 1,700 youth; protected cultural resources at four locations including one that was over 800 years old occupied by the Plains Indians; planted 14,000 trees; and stabilized 70 feet of streambank using bioengineering techniques.

They also organized four regional household hazardous waste collections during which 7,500 pounds of hazardous materials were removed from 120 households and worked with 140 school children on art projects made from recycled materials. FACT SHEET ON STATUS OF USDA AMERICORPS PROJECTS Summary USDA and the Corporation for National Service (CNS) are now seeking to reach a consensus with Senators Christopher Bond (MO), Senator Charles Grassley (IA), and Congressman Jerry Lewis (CA) to allow USDA to continue to provide technical assistance, funding, administrative support services, and other assistance to national service programs sponsored by non-profit organizations, state, local, and tribal governments, and the local managers of public lands. USDA and CNS do NOT need any additional funds --- nor do they need Congress to take any formal legislative action. USDA and CNS simply need to reach an informal consensus with key members of Congress that would allow USDA to continue to aid grass-roots groups sponsoring AmeriCorps projects. Changes in Funding for USDA AmeriCorps Projects In both the 1994-1995 program year and the 1995-1996 program year, USDA sponsored community-based AmeriCorps projects throughout the country that fought hunger, protected the environment, and boosted rural community development. In both program years, the projects were supported by four sources of funding: 1) Corporation for National Service (CNS) funding paid for educational awards for AmeriCorps Members that successfully completed the program. These funds were not transferred to USDA --- they were deposited into a trust fund that will later pay the lending and/or educational institutions of AmeriCorps graduates. 2) CNS funds were granted from CNS to USDA, which USDA , in turn, sub-granted to local AmeriCorps projects --- principally to five anti-hunger projects. 3) USDA utilized money from the Department's own appropriated funds. USDA used funds from several agencies to support AmeriCorps projects that provided critical community services in areas directly related to the mission areas of those agencies. 2 4) State and local governments and private sector organizations provided matching funds. In the 1994-1995 program year, non-Federal sources provided $1.7 million in funding to USDA-sponsored AmeriCorps projects. However, in order to meet concerns raised by Senator Bond, Senator Grassley, and others, CNS will no longer make grants of operating funds to Federal agencies. The legal result of this policy is that USDA funding source #2 --- operating funds transferred from CNS to USDA --- has been eliminated. The few USDA AmeriCorps projects that were most dependent on this source of funding the five anti-hunger projects --- banded together as a consortium under the umbrella of the non-profit Congressional Hunger Center to successfully apply for funding directly from CNS. Why USDA Needs to Have Some Continuing Involvement in Projects Some have suggested that full responsibility for funding and managing all USDA AmeriCorps projects to be transferred to state commissions on national service. Yet most state commissions on national service have neither the available funds nor the technical expertise to continue these projects on their own. In addition, most state commissions do not have the ability to effectively place projects in many of the rural areas served by USDA AmeriCorps projects. While most state commissions strongly support the USDA AmeriCorps projects in their state, they do NOT want to take them over. In reality, transferring these projects to state commissions would be, in effect, an unfunded mandate placed on the states. If USDA was prohibited from continuing to provide any assistance at all, most rural AmeriCorps projects would immediately end. Current Legal Status of the Program The prohibition on the distribution of CNS operating funds (funding source #2) to Federal agencies does NOT restrict the ability of CNS to enter into cooperative agreements with Federal agencies, such as USDA, in order to provide non-financial assistance to AmeriCorps projects and provide educational awards (funding source #1) to the AmeriCorps Members in those projects. 3 Thus, USDA still has the legal ability to use their own appropriated funds (source #3) and obtain state, local, and private matching funds (source #4) to support AmeriCorps projects. Consequently, if CNS signs a cooperative agreement providing non-monetary assistance to USDA, AmeriCorps programs sponsored by the Department will still have the legal ability to continue --- and the graduates of those projects will still be able to obtain educational awards. Thus, new legislation and/or additional appropriations are NOT required to continue the USDA AmeriCorps program. Agreement Sought By USDA Even though both CNS and USDA have both the legal and financial ability to ensure that USDA can continue to support AmeriCorps projects, the Department and CNS are seeking to reach a bi-partisan policy agreement with key leaders in Congress that USDA will do so. USDA and CNS are seeking at least tacit approval for such an agreement from Senator Bond, Senator Grassley, and Congressman Lewis. USDA and CNS both want to be sure that members of Congress do not have even the perception that USDA and CNS are violating Congressional intent by continuing to sponsor AmeriCorps projects. Both Bond and Grassley have expressed their belief that, while they might like high quality USDA projects in partnership with local entities to continue, they not believe the Federal government should "run" such projects. Thus, USDA has proposed the language below under which USDA would NOT run projects, but would continue help local entities to run projects. Approval of this concept would be perfectly in keeping with previous agreements between CNS, Bond, Grassley, and Lewis which ended grants of operating funds from CNS to Federal agencies. 4 Thus, for AmeriCorps projects supported by USDA to continue, Bond, Grassley, and Lewis would need to agree to agree to the following concept: "The Corporation for National and Community Service would have the authority to enter into a non-monetary cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture to allow the Department to provide technical assistance, funding, administrative support services, and other assistance to national service programs sponsored by non-profit organizations, state, local, and tribal governments, and the local managers of public lands, and to allow participants in those programs to receive National Service benefits, including National Service educational awards from the National Service Trust. It is understood that the Corporation for National Service would not seek to enter into such an agreement with any other Federal agency other than the Department of Agriculture.

Church 5251 South Dearborn Chicago, IL 60609 Carolyn Thomas, Director May 7, 1997 Dear Sir: The Community Outreach Program of St. Mary's A.M.E. Church, God's Gang, has a unique mix of youth and adults that have dedicated countless hours, financial support and sheer strength to the Robert Taylor community. Realizing that there are certain basic needs we all have a right to, JUST BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN, we are endeavoring to first FEED the body. Our pantry, Mother's Cupboard, has with Y.A.R. (Youth As Resources) help, provided nourishing food staples to over 2,000 (unduplicated count), families, (totaling over 4,000 individuals), since our doors opened May 8, 1996. The Welfare Reform of January 1997, aided in making February our greatest effort yet, when 901 families, sought emergency food from us. This, doubled the amount of people that were being turned away because we were running out of food. To help meet the demand we switched to a pick-up every week rather than twice a month. With 50-75 new families coming in each month, many qualifying families were unserved. Youth as Resources, who's original grant of $3,000 for our start up year, suddenly only funded programs for $2,000.- Seeing our need, we were given $440.00, in additional funding over other programs. Our new growth has depleted our funds and Y.A.R.'s next proposal request has been put off until late Summer. Therefore, the pantry is operating with only U.S.D.A. commodities. USDA AMERICORPS, The Chicago Environmental Action Team provided staff for the pantry, transportation, manpower each week to stock the pantry, and established our new library facility. This particular program was not funded for the fiscal year of 1997. This has left us in dire straights. We now transport less than a quarter of the food, because we must use our personal vehicles. Our plans for the library are almost at a stand still. In preparing our youth for the recent lowa testing, we tutored in the library as is. It had been cleaned and painted by AMERICORPS, but there is no system in place to locate books, and materials necessary for adequate tutoring. In April of last year, AMERICORPS was instrumental in our God's Gang Gang getting a Landscaping contract that allowed our kids to earn their first stipend, and provided a hands on experience in soil conservation. We traveled to the far North side to Kyack, viewing diverse surroundings that were foreign to our children. This experience in it self was extremely rewarding. In mastering the art of Kyacking, the comradery, challenge of a new sport and team interaction has our youth eagerly asking for more. The children of Robert Taylor had a safe haven and an opportunity to interact with people of different cultures, social and economic backgrounds. This year, the opportunity to renew the landscaping contracts, and expand the Kyacking sites will not materialize without some additional assistance. God's Gang has 28 active adult and youth volunteers however, they either work or attend school. The fund raising projects, donations and food drives have yielded meager contributions toward our needs. Without permanent staff, funds, and transportation, our efforts to continue to service our community is seriously hindered. If you can give us any information on resources we may pursue, please let us know. Your attention and any consideration in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Ponca, Nebraska, have been advised that Americorps/USDA members Mary Rose Backhaus, Nadene Chavet, Carmen Shaffer and Bonnie Tyrrell, and local volunteers Linda Frahm, Peggy Greg and Judy Lamprecht did spend an appreciable amount of time going door-to- door within the flooded areas of Ponca, Nebraska, working with the people on assessing their flood damage, both to their structures and to their personal property, meeting with people in the City office, preparing the necessary paperwork, and cooperating with the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency personnel; and WHEREAS, this would have been a formidable task for the City of Ponca staff; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of the City of Ponca, Nebraska, that they are highly appreciative of the help offered by the above volunteers and thank them mightily. PASSED AND APPROVED this 31 st day of July, 1996. CITY OF PONCA, NEBRASKA Donall Onduse Donald E.

I spent most of the following day finding overnight homes for the 19 senior citizens who were evacuated from their apartment building the night before. On Thursday morning, July 18, Bruce Blatchford Dixon County Civil Defense Director - came into my office and asked if I could find someone to start going from house to house assessing damages. I immediately looked over at Mary Rose Backhaus, sitting at another desk in my office. She and Stephen Cook are Americorps workers under the sponsorship of USDA who have been at the Ponca site since last fall, working on solid waste issues. They were at Beatrice, helping with the clean-up there, a few weeks earlier. Bruce had been studying his emergency manual and had a pretty good idea of the information they needed to obtain, even though at that time we had not had a great amount of contact with the Nebraska Civil Defense Office on this subject. Mary Rose and Linda Frahm, the janitor at the Dixon County Courthouse immediately "hit the streets". They waded through alimy mud, going door to door, talking to people, listening to people, encouraging people, laughing and crying and boing grateful with the people who had experienced the flood. On Friday Mary Rose and Linda worked on the assessments all day, along with Nadene Chavet, an Americorps/USDA worker at the Northeast Nebraska RC&D office in Plainview, who came to Ponca and worked with Peggy Greg, a local volunteer who wanted to help wherever she was needed. On Saturday morning we had a community meeting with NEMA (the name change came on Friday!) and again, Mary Rose worked all day, along with Nadene, Carmen Shaffer (an Americorps/USDA worker at the Northeast Nebraska RC&D office in Plainview) and Bonnie Tyrrell (an Amaricorps/USDA worker at the North Central Nebraska RC&D office in Bassett), and Judy Lamprecht, another local volunteer. SEP-11 96 14:01 FROM: NCCC 2025652791 TO: 2027204614 PAGE: 04 Monday, July 22, NEMA came back to Ponca and started working with Dixon County, assessing their public damages. Kathy Davis worked in our office and Mary Rose, Nadene and Linda worked all day, both on the street and in the office. Even after the initial information was obtained, it had to be put on the required forms and they were constantly updating it as people came in with their lists of losses and damages and their property tax assessments. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Mary Rose and Linda constantly took telephone calls, made telephone calls and updated information, so that by Thursday when NEMA was ready to head back to Lincoln and start crunching figures, WE WERE READY! Our paperwork was accurate, consistent, in good order, and fairly complete because of the many hours these people put in on it. I am not exaggerating when I say that it could not have been done without them. There is no way that my assistant and I could have done it. Most people in Ponca were helping families directly with mud, water and clean-up. I just do not know what we would have done without the Americorps people. Plus, they were fresh, they were understanding, they were cheerful, they were patient - all qualities that were wearing rather thin on the rest of us. Mary Rose worked till 5:30-6:00 most of those days and put in approximately 60 hours on the entire project. The four Americorps workers put in approximately 90 hours all together on the project. I will be forever grateful that Mary Rose was here, in this office, at this time. And the fact that the network was in place and all the Americorps people were able to respond so quickly, was marvelous. Last year I was not sure how I felt about Americorps. After attending the Americorps/USDA graduation ceremonies just this last Monday, I am convinced that it is a program that is accomplishing what it set out to do. The success rate of our Americorps/USDA people in Nebraska is great! Sincerely, Lide Kadiney Linda Kastning, Admin/Clerk/Treas City of Ponca cc. Senator J. James Exon Senator Robert Kerrey P. 02 AmeriCorps National Service Natural Resources Conservation Service 15600 S.W. 288 Street * Suite 402, Box 7 Homestead, FL 33033 Fax: (305) 242-1292 Tele: (305) 242-1218 September 4, 1996 The AmeriCorps project in Homestead has been a complete success. From the beginning of the year we set our priorities and maintained a wide yet clear perspective of our goals. Urban water conservation has been our first concern. We received intensive training from several experts in different fields related to water conservation. Chris Mikler, author of the Urban Irrigation Evaluations Training Manual trained the team on performing irrigation evaluations. Ramon Santiago, NRCS Area Engineer from Lake Worth, Florida, trained the team to recognize different types of soils. Charles Yurgalevitch, Ph.D., of the Homestead Agricultural Mobile Irrigation Lab (MIL) has been our mentor from the beginning. This initial preparation was the first step towards a productive year. According to the South Florida Water Management District, 206 billion gallons of water was used in Dade County in 1990. Of this, 118 billion gallons were for urban usage. Irrigation evaluations led homeowners to understand the efficiency of their systems and provided them with recommendations on repairing and maintaining their systems to conserve water. After completing our goal of 300 evaluations and 150 follow-up evaluations, we can proudly take credit for almost 20 million gallons of water saved in South Florida! That means saving more than $431,818.00 in Dade County. In addition to irrigation evaluations, AmeriCorps has produced a water conservation brochure for indoor water savings. The brochure was written in English, Spanish, and Creole. AmeriCorps has actively participated in other projects in addition to irrigation evaluations. The "Water for South Florida" grant permitted us to work with school children in grades K-12. We were involved with over 2,000 Dade County students including Howdy Camp, a summer camp. All phases of environmental education were demonstrated by the MIL and AmeriCorps, including presentations of the "Drip and Drop" skit. What these students learned in one day will save them water and money through out a lifetime, even if they only remember to turn off their faucets while they are brushing their teeth. Another project we are actively involved with is the Clean Organic Waste (C.O.W.) project. It is a two-year compost project, funded by the Dade County Solid Waste Department. There we removed some of the plastic, metal and glass it has. The odor is unpleasant and weather conditions make sometimes over 90°F, however we were glad to help when needed. Participating within the community was evident in several of our activities. On April 23, 1996 a yellow trumpet tree (Tabebuia) was planted in memory of the Oklahoma City bomb victims. Manuel Diaz Farms, a local nursery, was generous to donate the tree. We excavated the area for the six foot yellow trumpet tree. Many of the employees from the South Dade Government Center took part in this event. On July 13-14, AmeriCorps together with the MIL, managed by Dr. Charles Yurgalevitch, hosted a booth at the Annual Ag Fiesta at the Fruit and Spice Park. There we promoted water conservation by distributing brochures, pamphlets and information of our work. We are currently assisting the "National Food Recovery Week" and have collected over 1,170 pieces of clothing and canned goods to be donated to a local shelter, Community Partnership Shelter of Miami. Finally, we are proud to announce the approval for a AmeriCorps Mini grant. This will provide water saving devices for 150 cooperators. Even though next year's continuation of this AmeriCorps is uncertain, we feel proud of the accomplishments for this team. We feel our mission will not end with AmeriCorps, for what we learned this year is only the beginning of a lifetime of progress in conserving our natural resources. privatizat for state Curtis Blashill (center) and FEB-19-1997 Lorin Savin GOP lawmakers anticipate savir (right), students at Portsmouth some institutions, but opponents I Middle School In By J.
