THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
September 14, 1993
Dear Interagency Working Group Member,
I hope you will be able to attend the first fall meeting of
the Interagency Working Group on National Service. The meeting
will be held on September 20 at 3:00 in the Old Executive Office
Building room 476. This meeting is the first of four meetings
which will be held this fall. The other meetings are tentatively
scheduled to take place on October 13, November 12, and December
15. I hope that you will be able to join us for all of these
meetings, schedules permitting.
We have three agenda items for the September 20 meeting: an
update and further briefing on the legislation; reports from
some of you about your department's national service initiatives
(we will be in touch with some of you to ask for this, but feel
free to call Kate Frucher at 456-6444 to volunteer) ; and
discussion of a number of questions on which we want your advise.
Attached you will find the list of questions we will discuss
at the upcoming meeting. (Answers in writing, either before the
meeting or after, are not essential but would be greatly
appreciated). I realize that some of these questions are quite
particular and may not fall within your area of expertise. If you
could take the time to do a little bit of research within your
department to identify others who may be able to provide us with
information about particular questions, it would be very helpful
for us.
I want to underscore how critical your participation is to
the successful launch of this initiative. The more we can
involved a broad range of people in developing this program in
its early stages, the stronger it will be in the long-run. As you
continue to think about ways in which to involve your department
and other constituencies in your field in national service, I
would welcome further suggestions about how we can help, whether
through additional meetings, materials, or technical assistance
in proposal development.
I look forward to working with you over the weeks and months
to come on this exciting new initiative.
Sincerely,
Pate-Elelman

Questions
I. Program Ideas
According to our tentative time line, departments may be able to
apply for funds (on a competitive basis) from the Corporation for
National Service as early as next spring.
* Is your department likely to develop a service program
proposal, either by creating a new program or by adding new
service components to existing programs? If the answer is
yes, please describe plans.
* DO you think that a service component could be
successfully built into any of the main Administration
initiatives your department is helping to develop and
ultimately implement (health care, welfare reform, school-
to-work, etc.) Please present your ideas.
II. Policy Questions
One of the biggest challenges national service will face will be
keeping the President's vision of the program intact while
running it through decentralized structures. As you recall,
national service will be administered by a federal government
entity, the Corporation for National Service, but will allocate
two-thirds of its funds through state commissions.
Does your department have experience running programs which are
structured in a similar way? If it does, please share your ideas
with us about the following issues:
* How can the Corporation properly assure a proper balance
between state and federal roles?
- How can the Corporation build strong partnerships with
states and still retain sufficient control over quality?
- Are there examples of effective "state commission type
entities?" What are the lessons that we can learn from them?
- What are the most effective points of leverage? Setting
quality standards up front? Negotiating changes in state
plans as a condition for providing funding? Providing
technical assistance and training? Monitoring and evaluating
state funded programs?
ID:
SEP 13'93 13:22 No.009 P.04
* How can the Corporation monitor performance of grantees to
ensure that high-quality services are being delivered?
- How can we effectively evaluate programs? What sorts of
quality criteria and performance standards should be
established?
* How can the Corporation best use technology to enhance the
overall program?
- Are there examples of programs that connect their local
offices or grantees to a computer network for management and
financial reporting as well as for exchanging ideas among
programs?
- How should the Corporation approach creating such a
network? What can we at the federal level reasonably
ask/require of states?
III. Outreach
* What is the best way to encourage development of high-
quality proposals to the Corporation for National Service
and its state commissions?
- How can we effectively disseminate information to
potential applicants in your field? Please suggest any key
organizations, conferences, publications, or other venues
which may be effective dissemination vehicles.

Subject:
Sponsorship of National Service Initiatives
The Administration's national service program -- now known as AmeriCorps -- is one of the
President's top priorities. Participants in AmeriCorps will earn a small living wage while
performing work that addresses unmet human, environmental, educational and public safety
needs. For each year of service successfully performed, participants also earn an educational
voucher of $4,725, which they may use to pay for college, vocational school, job training, or
graduate school.
This program presents an exciting opportunity for USDA. Secretary Espy has announced that
USDA will run a Rural Development Team, a Public Lands and Environmental Team, and an
Empowerment and Anti-Hunger Team. These teams will likely participate in activities in areas
related to most USDA agencies, including sustainable agriculture, USDA feeding programs,
rural development, National Forest maintenance and construction, rural housing, urban tree-
planting, nutrition education, soil conservation, youth-at-risk, farmers' markets, watershed
protection, urban farming, and food safety.
The White House has made it clear that the Department should identify areas in operating plans
and budget requests where AmeriCorps volunteers can be used to effectively deliver our
programs. In order to properly plan our efforts, please compile a list of current FY 94
initiatives that lend themselves to AmeriCorps participation, as well as an estimate of how much
money your agency might be able to spend on national service initiatives in FY 95. Please
provide this information to Joel Berg, Director of Public Liaison and National Service, by
January 24, 1994.
If you have any questions concerning AmeriCorps, please contact Joel Berg, 720 -4623,
Room 213A.

FR: Susan Stroud
RE: Technical Assistance for Federal Agencies
The Corporation for National and Community Service will provide
funding on a competitive basis for national service programs. To
encourage broad participation, the Corporation is conducting a series of
Program Application Assistance Workshops. The first of four workshops,
designed to offer information on all of the programs and application
procedures of the Corporation, will be held January 10-11 in Washington,
D.C. at the Ramada Hotel. Attached is additional information on the D.C.
meeting, which will include a breakout session specific to the concerns of
Federal Agencies.
The technical assistance meeting will follow a two day agenda. The
agenda on the first day will begin with an introduction and overview of
the Corporation's objectives, the application process, and will include an
extensive question and answer period. In the afternoon, legal and
administrative requirements will be discussed followed by a breakout
session. During which the specific concerns of Federal Agencies will be
addressed. The second day will be geared toward the interests of the state
commissions and developing a state service plan. To reserve a space,
please fax the attached registration form to the Corporation at (202) 606-
4854.
There will be three additional meetings held:
January 12-13
Atlanta, GA
January 18-19
Kansas City, MO
January 20-21
Los Angeles, CA
While there will be no breakout sessions specifically for Federal Agencies,
these meetings would still be beneficial for regional and field staff. I
encourage you to alert your staff outside D.C. about these meetings.
Attached is information about technical assistance available by
telephone. Please encourage your agency's regional and field staff to
1100 VERMONT AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20525
contact the Corporation with questions and answers at the scheduled
times. While the Corporation has set up the workshops and the phone
service to simplify the application process, I, of course, am always available
to provide assistance to and answer questions for your agency.
I am attaching the final version of national priorities for Americorps
programs. Program regulations will be published in the Federal Register by
the end of this week. 1 will fax them to you as soon as they are available.

January 12, 1993
5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
National Press Building
529 14th Street NW, Room 807
Washington, DC 20045
Questions:
1. At the federal level, what should be the organizational structure to
implement national service/national trust fund? What are the
roles and responsibilities?
What should, if any, be the role of the Commission on National
and Community Service?
What should, if any, be the role of ACTION?
Should they be combined? eliminated? How best can the scenario
outlined below be performed?
Assumptions:
1. Decisions need to be made regarding which organizations
would be able to offer a post-service Federal benefit and
which individuals would be the ones to receive the
benefit. There is a need to make sure that the service is
worthwhile (i.e. avoid the CETA problems) and make
sure that there is some geographic distribution of the
benefit.
2. There are potential roles for the federal, state and local
governments, as well as regional and local entities. Want
to avoid large federal bureaucracy and have
implementing decisions be as close to service delivery as
is possible.
3. National and community service should be a national
priority.
One scenario:
Potential Federal role:
develop a federal comprehensive plan and encourage leadership at all
levels
set the focus and standards for the types of service (such as
environment/ education; youth, elderly)
decide which States can participate (based on proposals)
spot audit to make sure compliance is being met
support clearinghouses, research, replication, training
Presidential leadership --- bully pulpit, inspire
Agencies whose missions directly relate to a problem could support or
operate a program (i.e. EPA and a environmental corps, Interior or
Agriculture a conservation corps, etc.).
Potential State role:
develop a state comprehensive plan for service and coordinate with
other state activities
certify local organizations that qualify for federal/state funds and
monitor compliance.
operate or support national service programs (such as subtitle D
programs)
leadership from governor, state school officer, corporate, college
presidents, foundations
training for infrastructure --- particularly school teachers
Potential Local role:
encourage service by weaving into ongoing institutions
encourage partnerships between organizations that cross racial and
economic lines
operate community service programs, encourage grass roots
entrepreneurs

FOLLOW-UP AGENDA FOR NATIONAL SERVICE INTERAGENCY GROUP
1. Help develop agenda for issue-specific outreach to implement the
forthcoming national service legislation:
-- Identify constituency groups to be contacted which can in turn
reach others to encourage organizational applications for national
service slots;
-- Identify individuals inside and outside the government who can
help in the process of contacting and meeting with constituencies,
help to create ideas for service roles and the organization of
service roles, and advise about training and technical assistance;
-- Develop ideas for service roles connected with agency programs
and areas of responsibility, to be shared with outside
constituencies who may apply for national service funds;
-- Suggest agenda items for issue-specific working groups,
including cross-cutting issues like ways to assure diversity; and
-- Suggest challenges the President can make to different sectors
in the society, e.g., schools, businesses, religious groups, to
involve themselves more extensively in service.
2. Begin (or continue) brainstorming within departments and
agencies as to their own role in national service, bearing in mind
the FY 95 budget cycle for any ideas that require new money:
-- Plan for new ideas for service or expansion of existing service
programs within the various departments. The same substantive idea
could take any of three forms:
o A new idea for an agency's own programs, to be funded
out of the agency's own budget;
o Planning for the federal agency competition portion of
the national service legislation, including any technical
assistance the agency needs from the Office for National
Service or the new Corporation on National Service; or
O Ideas that can be shared with constituency groups
which might then apply to States and/or the new
Corporation for funding.
-- Develop ways to incorporate an array of service activities into
current programs that merit inclusion of a service component;
-- Develop ideas for connecting existing service programs more
integrally with the broader national service initiative; and
-- Develop additional and expanded opportunities for employee
volunteer activities.

application package. If we apply separately, determine how each Agency will
endorse or outline collaboration/support/etc so that we can make our
intentions clear to the Corporation.
