This document reports the testimony and prepared statements of witnesses at two Congressional hearings on the issue of national service. Witnesses included representatives to Congress from Michigan, Connecticut, Oklahoma, Maryland, and California; directors of state voluntary agencies; chief administrators of colleges and universities; volunteers; students; and guidance officials. Testimony centered on the possibility of passing legislation to create a National Service organization that would enable young people, especially disadvantaged youth, to serve their country as volunteers while learning skills and earning a chance for further training and education. Concerns of some witnesses centered on whether such legislation would replace student aid and thereby jeopardize college funding, and whether a large bureaucracy would be created, while individual youth efforts are already in place and are more effective. Others were supportive of the broad idea but cautious about the wording and implementation of such legislation. (KC)
