House adopts plan for 'volunteer' corps: "The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a plan to set up a new 'volunteer corps' and consider whether 'a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people' should be developed.
The legislation also refers to 'uniforms' that would be worn by the 'volunteers' and the 'need' for a 'public service academy, a 4-year institution' to 'focus on training' future 'public sector leaders.' The training, apparently, would occur at 'campuses.'
The vote yesterday came on H.R. 1388, which reauthorizes through 2014 the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, acts that originally, among other programs, funded the AmeriCorps and the National Senior Service Corps."
