The Senator says this is a condo in the sky for going to Mars. We absolutely reject that. We go to Mars, and we are going by robots; we are not going by astronauts. This is to be a science lab, not a condo.

Second, the space station at one time was overweight and underpowered, not unlike the Federal bureaucracy. We streamlined the space station design to make sure that weight, power, and mission match.

And last, but not at all least, there was a question whether we could really assemble the space station in space. When we gave the Hubble space telescope a new contact lens and our astronauts showed the deftness with which they could do mechanical assembly in space, they showed that we could do it. So we now have designs to the mission. We can put it together in space. And it is a science lab, not a condo for astronauts.

Let me just reiterate, No. 1, much has been made of the fact that the American Medical Association favors the space station. Let me point out that the American Physical Society -- 40,000 physicists in America -- are adamantly opposed to the space station. Why? Because they say the benefits are going to be negligible. You cannot do anything in space with microgravity. Dr. Bloembergen at Harvard says, when you put men on the space station to do microgravity research, you just mess it up. The steps, a bump, destroys microgravity research.

And what is there about a lack of gravity that is going to cure cancer and AIDS and all the rest of it? The answer is nothing. Here are people who really are concerned about the deficit: The Cato Institute, the Concord Coalition, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, the National Taxpayers Union, Progress in Freedom Foundation, Progressive Policy Institute. Not only do the American physicists oppose it, every one of those organizations strongly oppose it.

This bill, just this bill alone, ravages housing for the elderly, ravages sewer projects, and torpedoes the AmeriCorps Program to make room for this thing. We are going to cut $40 billion out of education in the next 7 years to pay for this?

Mr. President, I think the argument made very compellingly by our good friend from Arkansas just shows that physicists do not know anything more about biomedical research [[Page S 14246]] in space than we do. I will take the word of the people who are at NIH and who are involved in biomedical research to say that it is important.

I ask unanimous consent that Senator Stevens, followed by Senator Chafee, be recognized for up to 10 minutes to present an amendment which I believe is acceptable on both sides. After action on that amendment is completed, we ask that Senator Mikulski and Senator Kennedy be recognized to present an amendment on national service with a 2-hour time limit, with a vote on or in relation to that amendment to occur at that time; following disposition of that amendment, that Senator Sarbanes be recognized to present an amendment on the homeless, that there be 1 hour divided in the usual form which would apply to both of those amendments; and upon the expiration or yielding back of the time, that a vote on or in relation to the Sarbanes amendment occur.

It provides for a 1-year exemption from the oxygenated fuel requirements of the Clean Air Act for Fairbanks, AK. There are unique circumstances in Fairbanks that justify this limited exemption. I do thank the other Senators who have worked with us on this amendment.

Alaska exceeds the carbon monoxide requirements on the Clean Air Act only on days when there are temperature inversions caused by extreme cold, which really means when it is below 50 below zero.

When the oxygenated fuels requirement of the Clean Air Act was applied to Fairbanks to correct the carbon monoxide levels, serious health problems were reported. The MTBE additives developed for the area were simply never tested for use in the extreme cold of the Fairbanks area.

In 1977, Fairbanks experienced nearly 100 days -- 100 days -- in 1 year when carbon monoxide levels exceeded the health standard. Last year, the city of Fairbanks only had 5 days when those standards were exceeded.

There is no question but what the city of Fairbanks has done an extraordinarily good job. It is a tribute to the [[Page S 14247]] city and I might say it is also attribute, Mr. President, to the efficacy of the Clean Air Act. The Clean Air Act is working.

Fairbanks is currently classified as a moderate nonattainment area. If it does not fully meet the standard by the end of this year, Fairbanks will be reclassified as a serious nonattainment area. Reclassification would trigger a series of additional requirements under the Clean Air Act -- including transportation control measures -- that may not be necessary to reach this standard.

Fairbanks believes that it can meet the standard without the imposition of these expensive additional measures. Because of the dramatic progress that has already been made, I think it is reasonable to extend the deadline in this case. The Senators from Alaska have stated that they will not seek another extension on an appropriation bill in the future.

As to oxygenated fuels, some States have experienced complaints in cities where MTBE has been used as an additive. But MTBE is not the only additive available. Ethanol, grain alcohol, can also be used as an oxygenate. Everything we know about air pollution tells us that burning alcohol presents less pollution concern than burning gasoline, the fuel the alcohol replaces.

So, there are alternatives for Fairbanks if it cannot reach attainment using existing measures. In fact, Anchorage, AK, used ethanol as a fuel additive last year and recorded its first year ever with no exceedances of the carbon monoxide standard. This experience has been repeated all across the country. When we passed the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments more than 40 cities were in nonattainment for carbon monoxide. Today that number is less than 10 and much of the credit goes to the oxygenated fuels program in the Clean Air Act.

Mr. President, we all look forward to the day when every American city can boast of healthy air. Fairbanks has made great strides already and will reach that goal soon. In light of its accomplishments, I think we can provide the city with some flexibility.

The Stevens-Murkowski amendment relieves Fairbanks of oxygenated fuels requirement and transportation control measures under the Clean Air Act for upcoming winter because Fairbanks' carbon monoxide [CO] exceedances are a result of temperature inversions -- not simply CO emissions, and Fairbanks' residents experienced negative health effects when they initially tried methyl tertiary butyl ether [MTBE] as an oxygenated fuel.

The oxygenated fuels program was instituted in Anchorage and Fairbanks on November 1, 1992, according to the law, using MTBE as the oxygenate additive. Fairbanks' and Anchorage residents began to experience unusual health problems -- nausea, vomiting, dizziness, disorientation, headaches, and other symptoms.

Our Governor canceled the program in Fairbanks on December 11, 1992, due to these health problems. The EPA had not done any studies on MTBE in the Arctic conditions that exist in Alaska. So, many Alaskans justifiably fear the use of oxygenated fuels in their gasoline.

Mr. President, we have some of the cleanest air in the country. Fairbanks has made significant, dramatic reductions in CO violations. You will notice that most of these reductions occurred before the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments; so, the Clean Air Act was effective in Fairbanks without the oxygenated fuels requirement. These reductions are clearly attributable to Fairbanks' inspection and maintenance program. Fairbanks has reduced their violations 43 percent -- from 37 in 1985 to only 2 in 1992, and most recently we seem to be down to 5 or fewer violations a year.

Those exceedances that do occur are during thermal inversions. Typical automobile fleet turnover and the U.S. car fleet operating more efficiently at cold temperatures could also bring Fairbanks into compliance eventually.

I want to thank Senator Chafee and Senator Bond for accepting our amendment. Fairbanks air quality has improved significantly over the years. We want to continue to work with the EPA to improve our air quality by means that make sense in our Arctic climate and not be subject to a one-size-fits-all mandate that does not make sense in Alaska. We welcome the current political climate that recognizes the need for flexibility and common sense in our environmental regulatory policy.

These temperature inversions are the problem. They are not the normal problem that causes carbon monoxide limitations to be exceeded. The oxygenated fuels I think would have a minimal impact on that problem anyway because we are not certain they will even solve the problem when we are down below 60 below zero.

So I thank the Senate. I thank Senator Chafee for being willing to deal with this. Again, our commitment is, we will not raise this as an exception through the appropriations process. We are going to pursue the authorizing committee for a permanent solution to this problem as we deal with the Clean Air Act. [[Page S 14248]] I thank the Senator from Missouri.

Mr. President, if I might add that when we passed the Clean Air Act amendments in 1990, more than 40 cities were in nonattainment for carbon monoxide. Today that number is less than 10. Much of the credit goes to the oxygenated fuels program as well as other steps taken by the various cities.

So I think we can look forward to the day when every American city can boast clean air. Fairbanks, as I mentioned, has made great progress and we believe will reach the goal of complete attainment soon. In light of those accomplishments, I think we should provide Fairbanks with some flexibility, and I am happy to support this amendment.

Ted Stevens

Mr. President, I agree with what the Senator from Rhode Island has said. I know what the situation here is. I am one who does not believe that MTPE will make a difference when there are temperature inversions that cause nonattainment. We will have to deal with that in the Clean Air Act, however, and we agree not to pursue it with the appropriations process again.

Mr. President, this amendment would modify one of the environmental riders on this appropriations bill. The appropriations bill precludes the Environmental Protection Agency from taking final action to set a standard for arsenic under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This delay is presumably justified because some uncertainties in the science on the cancer-causing effects of arsenic.

My amendment would continue the delay imposed by the rider for a standard to deal with the cancer threat from arsenic, but it would allow EPA to go forward and revise the standard to protect against the other adverse health effects of arsenic.

John Chafee

Arsenic causes several adverse health effects, the most important of which are vascular diseases and skin cancer. Arsenic has been known to be a cause of cancer by ingestion since 1887 because it was sold in patent medicines. Ironically, many of these medicines were intended to treat skin diseases. Using arsenic as a medicine proved that arsenic itself causes skin cancer.

The other major health problem caused by arsenic is a weakening of the vascular system -- the vessels that circulate blood in our bodies.

Arsenic is currently regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act and has been regulated by the Federal Government beginning long before there was an EPA. The current drinking water standard, established by the Public Health Service after World War II, is 50 parts per billion. That standard was set to address the vascular diseases, but was not designed to address the cancer risk.

The 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act required the arsenic standard to be rewritten and to address the cancer risk. EPA was directed to establish a new arsenic standard by 1989. For cancer- causing substances such as arsenic, the goal in the Safe Drinking Water Act is to eliminate all exposure -- to reach zero, if we can. But most often that is not a practical reality. Instead, the standard is set based on the treatment technologies that large drinking water systems can afford. With technology available today, it is possible to reduce the concentration of arsenic in drinking water from the current 50 parts per billion to levels below 10 parts per billion.

However, some have argued that arsenic may not be a typical cancer- causing substance and ought not to be regulated in the typical way. According to this argument, there may be a safe threshold for arsenic. In other words, it may be that the first bit of arsenic one consumes will not increase a person's cancer risk. It may be that some higher concentration must be reached before the cancer effect takes hold. Drinking arsenic below this level would not increase risk because the body would slough it off before it reached the target organs. If there is such a threshold -- and depending where it is -- a standard at less than 10 parts per billion -- even though we could achieve it -- might not make sense, if our only concern is the cancer risk.

Unfortunately, there has not been sufficient study to answer this question about a threshold. Recent studies from Taiwan suggest that there is not a threshold and that the cancer risk from drinking water at the current 50 parts per billion standard is quite high. If those studies are correct 2 in each 100 people drinking arsenic-laden water at the current federal standard would be expected to develop skin cancer. On the other hand, many other scientists have attacked weaknesses in the Taiwan study and argued that it cannot be relied upon to determine whether there is a threshold or not.

Resolving this scientific dispute about the potential cancer-causing properties of arsenic can be done. A gathering of scientists that occurred last spring produced a research plan that would result in a definitive answer. The study would take a period of a few years to complete and would cost about $15 million.

Mr. President, I have brought this amendment to the floor of the Senate to make a simple point. We have a responsibility to the American people to make sure these studies get done and are completed as soon as possible. We have delayed too long.

There is a great deal of disagreement in this body and across the country today about the proper role of the Federal Government in ensuring that our drinking water is safe. But one thing everybody agrees on is that the Federal Government has a responsibility to conduct the research necessary to determine the potential adverse effects of [[Page S 14249]] the contaminants that occur in our drinking water. It would not make sense for every state or every city to conduct its own drinking water research program. That is a job for the Federal Government.

But we have not been doing it. We invest next to nothing in drinking water research in these appropriations bills each year. A recent briefing by EPA's Office of Research and Development indicated that less than $5 million per year is being spent to investigate the adverse health effects of drinking water contaminants.

Arsenic is a perfect example of this failing. It has been known to cause skin cancer in humans since before 1900. It has been regulated -- but not to prevent cancer from drinking water -- by the Federal Government for decades. In 1986, Congress passed a law requiring that the arsenic standard be revised and that the revision address the cancer risk. The new standard was due in 1989.

But nothing was done. EPA took no action to revise the standard. Finally, in 1993 EPA was sued by a public interest group to force the Agency to issue the cancer standard. In response to the suit, EPA appeared in court and asked for more time, because the research had not been done.

Now, this appropriations bill comes before us and provides EPA with the extension they have been seeking. This extension would not be necessary, if the appropriations bills adopted in previous years had provided the small amount of research money for the needed research. Tens of thousands of Americans are consuming arsenic in their drinking water at levels that may be a threat to their health. This is not new information. But we are not ready to take action to protect public health, because we have delayed and delayed and delayed in making the small investment in research that is necessary to arrive at a sound public policy regarding arsenic in drinking water.

Recent studies on the noncancer health effects of arsenic indicate that the current 50-part-per-billion standard may not even prevent the other arsenic-related diseases. One approach might be to immediately revise the arsenic standard for drinking water based on these other effects, press ahead full speed on the cancer research, and revise the standard -- if needed -- to reflect the cancer risk when that research is completed. That is an approach that we will consider when the Senate takes up the bill to reauthorize the Safe Drinking Water Act.

My amendment today sets the stage for this debate. Instead of prohibiting a revision of the standard for arsenic altogether, under my amendment EPA would just be prohibited from issuing a standard for the cancer effects. They might revise the standard based on the data for other health effects. My amendment does not require EPA to issue a standard. And it does not pre-judge the issue of whether the standard should be tightened to prevent vascular diseases. We would want all the studies on those effects thoroughly reviewed by the Science Advisory Board and others before a standard-setting effort was begun. But it would not be blocked. That is the point.

Mr. President, I have discussed this amendment with the manager of the bill and believe that it is agreeable to him. I want to commend Senator Bond for including $1 million in this bill for research on the cancer-causing effects of arsenic. That is a start. And we appreciate it. I am sure that we can count on him to see this research program through to the end, now that it has been initiated.

So, Mr. President, my amendment lets the prohibition that is in the basic bill dealing with cancer-causing substances, cancer threats remain, but lets EPA go forward with revising the standards to protect against, as I say, other adverse health effects.

Thank you, Mr. President. At this time, I yield myself no more than 15 minutes, reserving the balance of my time to allocate to other Senators and also for summation argument.

My amendment restores funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service. It is in the amount of $425 million. The offset necessary to do this is taken from inside HUD to cover the budget authority in outlays needed to restore funding for national service.

The amount of funding this amendment provides allows another year of operation at a level that is 48 percent below the President's 1996 request, and it is also 10 percent below the fiscal year 1995 rescinded level.

In addition, my amendment would prohibit direct grants to Federal agencies, generating an additional 11 percent of savings. And, finally, my amendment would fence all funds from obligation until the Corporation submits a plan that restructures the program operation to reflect its reduced budget or until national service is reauthorized, whichever comes first.

Mr. President, why do I do this? I do this because I so strongly and passionately believe in national service. This is not just yet another social program. It is a unique American social invention designed to help create the ethic of service in today's young people. It creates an opportunity structure under which young Americans receive a reduction in their student debt or a voucher to pay for their higher education in exchange for full- or part-time community service.

This is not another handout. This says to young people, we know that your first mortgage is your student debt, but we want to give you an opportunity to reduce that student debt by doing service in your community. And if you do that, you will earn a voucher to reduce that student debt to the tune of about $4,000 a year.

The projects themselves do not come from some Federal bureaucrat deciding what is best for local communities. It is driven by the choices of local organizations, primarily nonprofits, and organizing around four basic areas of activity: education, public health, the environment, and public safety. It gives these young men and women a chance to get a college education in exchange for community service. This is not a Gucci-styled, show-up-once-a-week concept. These community workers spend an average of 35 hours each week contributing to their communities. They get a modest monthly allowance, and they get other support.

Why is this important? We want to do three things with national service. We want to help students reduce their student debt. We want to also rekindle the habits of the heart that made America great with the spirit of voluntarism. And third but not at all least, we want to deal with the new volunteer deficit that is facing the United States of America when many of our nonprofits are withering on the vine for the lack of community participation.

What are some of the examples of what these volunteers do? In my own State, in Montgomery County, they operate a community assisting police program where volunteers engage in community education and outreach that addresses the need for crime control, prevention, and the reduction of fear in six underserved communities.

Some of the projects that they do are coordinating a school awareness crime program. They provide bilingual assistance and referrals to crime victims. They work actually in a community policing station side by side with the police officers. They are not new cops, but they are cop extenders because while the police officers are doing the policing, these volunteers are helping doing prevention, community education, and also providing much-needed bilingual assistance.

In Vermont, there is something called the Vermont Antihunger, Nutrition and Empowerment Corps. This group operates five sites in Vermont, developing a statewide approach to hunger to increase participation of low-income and rural residents in Federal food assistance programs and teaching them about nutrition and how to buy and plant food.

In Washington State, we have a conservation corps providing a 1-year program that combines fieldwork and on-the-job instruction for doing things like watershed restoration, reforestation, stream and salmon habitat rehabilitation, and forest fire and oil spill response. It takes hard-to-reach kids and puts them with other young people who have recently graduated from college, both doing hands-on work. I know that we have not only turned the environment around but we have turned around some at-risk kids.

These programs are doing exactly what Congress intended to do when we authorized this bill in 1993. In fact, many of the programs are operating with a larger degree of success than even we had hoped. National service was designed to address those two programs I talked about -- student indebtedness as well as how to instill a sense of obligation and habits of the heart in young people.

There has been a sharp drop over the last 20 years in the number of Americans who volunteer in their communities. Harvard Prof. Bob Putnam has identified this trend and says that we need to promote more civic activity. Fewer people attend the PTA. But also what we know is that groups like the Red Cross, Meals on Wheels, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts face fewer and fewer volunteers. What we want to do is instill this sense of citizenship, this sense of obligation. And we also want to say, as part of an overall Government framework, now we have a clear message that for every right there is a responsibility, for every opportunity there should be an obligation. And this [[Page S 14251]] is what we are trying to create also through this legislation.

National service is the latest in a long series of social inventions designed by this country to create higher education. Earlier today we debated the space station. We are known worldwide for our scientific invention. But also we have been a genius in social inventions -- those tools that enable people to pursue the American dream.

Madam President, we are the country that invented night school so that immigrants, working in factories during the day, would have a chance to learn English, learn citizenship, learn the skills to move ahead in our society. That was a social invention. We created the GI bill for returning vets because we said that if you gave to this Nation, we will make sure you will be able to participate in the American dream.

National and community service is part of that framework. How can we make sure the access to higher education is not only for the wealthy? In my own home State of Maryland, to go to an independent college like Loyola or Notre Dame of Maryland, the kind of school I went to, it now costs anywhere from $12,000 to $18,000 a year. For most middle-income families, the whole idea of $72,000 for 4 years of education is beyond their dream. The same thing for our public schools. It still then would be about $8,000 or $9,000 a year -- or $45,000.

In this country, we believed that intellectual ability and character was randomly distributed through the population, so that it was only an elite few that could have access to higher education and thus remain elite. We wanted to make sure it was available to others. So that is why national service is important.

I joined with him, asking GAO to evaluate the AmeriCorps Program. I felt if we could not stand to be evaluated, we could not stand to be authorized and we could not stand to be funded. In our quest, we asked them to identify the resources required to field an AmeriCorps participant, evaluate whether an AmeriCorps program was meeting its mission, and make recommendations on how the national service corps could be more efficient and effective.

Well, GAO answered two of the three questions we asked. GAO estimates that the amount of resources available from the Corporation to field a participant are in line with the Corporation's estimate. Most impressive in GAO's finding is that national service programs are meeting the objectives that Congress set when we passed the bill in 1993.

Some will come to the floor and argue that the cost to the taxpayer of about $26,000 is excessive. Well, I want to point out that in the report it says, "It is important not to equate our funding information with cost data." Most AmeriCorps programs are still in their first year of operation.

Also, the $26,700 figure is misleading because it represents all resources from Federal, State, local, and private. It is not a total cost to the taxpayer. You know, in fact, we require matching funds. And Congress expects that the federally appropriated dollars would be used to leverage matching contributions. So we see that what they say it costs is really excessive.

Also, some have suggested in the tight budget times we cannot afford to continue this. Well, I do not think we can afford not to continue it. The GAO report goes on to recognize that these grants have really served communities. They have served rural communities and they have served urban communities. GAO said in the seven AmeriCorps programs in the four States it visited that "During our site visits we observed local programs helping communities." This one sentence makes it all worthwhile.

GAO says, "In our site visits, we observed that these communities are actually being helped." I could go on to talk about what they do, but what GAO says is, "We observed participants renovating inner-city housing, assisting teachers in elementary schools * * * analyzing neighborhood crime statistics to better target prevention measures * * * " working with the police, developing a community food bank for people with special dietary needs -- and I could go on.

This bill rewards the kinds of values, like sweat equity and work, that are at the heart of the American family. It does not identify with victims. It does not whine. It is not morose about the issues facing our society. I think this goes right into the values of the Nation. These are not Democratic Party values; these are not Republican Party values. These are American values: Hard work, neighbor helping neighbor, making sure that the access to the American dream is there for all Americans.

So, Madam President, I hope we will support the appropriation of national service. I also hope that we support the reauthorization when it comes up. I really think this is very important legislation. I think it really warrants the Senate's attention and their vote.

Ted Kennedy

Madam President, I welcome the opportunity to join with my friend and colleague, the Senator from Maryland, in urging the Senate to accept this particular amendment that will restore the national service program and the service learning programs and renewing this country's commitment to service. I think all of us in this body are very much aware of the strong commitment that the Senator from Maryland has had in terms of the voluntary service programs. As one who has been involved in this effort for some period of time, Senator Mikulski has really been the leader here in the Senate in the development of these important programs, and has given us the opportunity in our Human Resources Committee to hear the testimony of many of the young people in Maryland who have been involved in voluntary programs, and conservation programs, and many others.

We are very much aware of not only her strong commitment as a policy maker but also her strong personal interest in the national service program, community service program, and other volunteer efforts. I welcome the chance to join with her in what I consider to be an extremely important vote here this afternoon.

Madam President, I think, as Senator Mikulski has pointed out, the issue of voluntarism is really as old as the country. And I think many of us feel that the outlet for this voluntary spirit has not always been very evident. Only in very recent years did we see the development of a new major volunteer opportunity. That was in the early 1960's -- we can go back to the period of the 1930's and cite some of the programs in the time of the Depression, but really the 1960's and the development of the Peace Corps Program marked the dramatic beginning of a national commitment to service programs.

I had an opportunity, recently, to visit with some of the volunteers at the 25th anniversary of the Peace Corps. At a luncheon that was held over in the other side of the Capitol building, I sat down with the first volunteers for the Peace Corps and I asked them about why they participated in the Peace Corps. Virtually, all of them gave -- phrased somewhat differently, a uniform response. And that was: We were asked and it was the first time that we were ever asked to do anything for anybody else. The Peace Corps asked them to do something for their country and also for the communities that they would serve, and they responded.

I think all of us who have watched the program grow and develop, and have heard the various discussions and debates about its stability and about its future in recent years, have learned a very important lesson from the Peace Corps. We have seen a large number of Peace Corps volunteers working on Capitol Hill and in different agencies of Government. They are individuals who [[Page S 14252]] involve themselves voluntarily in service. They give something back to the community. And they have maintained this spirit of voluntarism and an interest in the broad public policy issues of our country.

That has been true of Peace Corps volunteers, and it has been true of the Vista volunteers as well. I think there are more than 1,250 Peace Corps volunteers who are somehow related to activities on the Hill. They are working for Members of the House, the Senate, extended staffs, an in other areas of service to the Congress. It is an extraordinary record. I think all of us have seen similar examples in our own States, through our visits and travels.

I think one of the most important purposes of this whole program is to try to reach out and bring the idea of service to young people. Service learning programs, involve children as young as kindergartners, and continue the effort through the 12 years of school, to reach out to those individuals in the 12th grade. The AmeriCorps Program provides another kind of opportunity. It allows individuals to offer full time voluntary service to their community and earn educational benefits through their service. Hopefully they then maintain that sense of voluntarism during the time they are in school and in college, and continue it through the rest of their lives. The precedent set by Peace Corps and VISTA volunteers indicates that they will.

The programs that involve our seniors -- Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, RSVP, provide great service to communities. These volunteers are elderly retirees, who in many instances, are living on just a few thousand dollars a year. They are providing service to their communities and receiving a very minimal amount of resources for the great value that they represent in their communities.

Two superb programs in my own State, in Bedford and Fall River, come to mind immediately. These communities have very high unemployment and face many different challenges. The service that these programs provide to those communities is extraordinary. Those of us who support this program, want to see that concept of voluntarism started in the early years and continued on for young people and adults through the AmeriCorps Program, continued into college, the workplace and on into retirement.

As part of the whole AmeriCorps Program, we have seen a great deal of commitment from the private sector. The challenge, when this program was established, was to try and ensure private participation and matching funds. The Senator from Maryland has talked about it, as well. We can, during the debate, go into greater detail on that part of the program. But it is already well documented that we have successfully involved the private sector in providing incentives and opportunities for service.

The fact remains, Madam President, that the concept of voluntarism exists not only for those individuals who have financial security. It will be said, in the course of this debate -- it always is -- it will be said that if we are going to talk about voluntary, why do we not talk about really voluntary. That is fine for those families, young and old alike, who have financial independence. But the idea of contribution of service back into community does not define itself by financial resources. The desire to serve exists among many people, young and old, those that have resources and those that do not.

We should not deny the opportunity for service to those individuals who come from humble beginnings and a family that does not have great resources. They know the concept of service and we should not deny them that. That is the point of the AmeriCorps Program: provide a small stipend and give them an opportunity to continue their education after they meet their service obligation. That is the AmeriCorps Program and it has been a great community resource.

We have seen the examples of real results where these programs have taken place. I ask unanimous consent that there be printed in the Record examples of the services provided in a number of different cities in my own State in projects that would never have been done unless AmeriCorps had been involved. The value of those projects far exceed the value of money paid to the individual AmeriCorps members. These are projects that generally would not be done without this program.

In Springfield, MA, we have kindergarten children who are involved in folding napkins and preparing centerpieces and involved in the feeding programs for the homeless people in that area. They are just small children, and they are finding out about what homelessness means. They are finding out about the joy that takes place when they are able to involve themselves, as kindergarten children, in the preparation of napkins and centerpieces for those homeless individuals.

We find sixth graders who go out and visit nursing homes and perform in pantomime the race between the rabbit and the turtle and they see the joy that they are giving to those seniors. They often receive requests for performances. They go out during study hall to do service to the community. They learn that good citizenship is an important value in our society. This is important.

These 8th and 12th graders write these extraordinary books. They write them themselves -- and read them to the other children. They are more popular than the books that are bought or were already available at these centers. The impact of that on those students is significant and profound.

We have more than 30,000 of them involved in these programs now in my own State of Massachusetts and that number is expanding. They do not need [[Page S 14253]] extensive resources and training to be able to run these programs. They have to have a program developed by students that has an education function, service to the community, and make application to the State boards.

That is another very important underlying concept. These programs are basically structured and run by the States. The grant decisions are not Federal they are controlled by the States.

We have, in my own State of Massachusetts, a good program. The men and women who are part of it have all been individuals who have been very, very much involved in voluntary service over the period of their lives and have been involved in a wide range of different kinds of service activities. They review to make sure that these programs work and work effectively. Some programs, clearly, work better than others, and there is obviously a responsibility to ensure that those programs that do not work are halted or discontinued and others that do work should go forward.

I know there have been examples that have been raised during the course of the various discussions on this of programs engaging in improper advocacy activities. When the very few allegations, have been substantiated, the programs have been abandoned. I think that is important. I think those of us who are supporting the Mikulski amendment certainly support that concept. Overall, the service provided by this program has been extraordinary.

There was an introduction into that whole school system of a community service program. There was a good deal of effort by very enterprising students, members of the faculty and several of the parents. They really made an impact on this student body.

Now it is the second best high school in Springfield, MA. If you go up there and talk to the parents, if you go up there and talk to the students, if you go up there and talk to the teachers, if you talk to the local merchants, if you talk to the other people who have received the service and seen the difference -- there is no question in any of their minds about the fact that the service opportunity that was available to these young people made the big difference. It reduced violence and increased the academic benefits to the students themselves and changed, in a very significant and important way, the attitudes of these students about their school, about themselves and about their community.

We all know about the challenges that we are facing in many of our urban areas and in many of our school systems about how we are going to enhance education, academic achievement; how we are going to do something about violence; how we are going to do something about teenage pregnancy; how we are going to do something to encourage our young people to move around and learn.

There are a lot of different ways of trying to do it, and we have tried to do it in a variety of ways. Do not discount service as also an important contribution to those effort. When service and service opportunities are done right, they teach excellent lessons. I think the record demonstrates that.

I will just say I think this program is an extremely modest program. The basic concept is to give an opportunity to people to give something back to their community. Many of us have the opportunity to visit different service sites in our own States or communities. The number of volunteers that are out there to try and provide help and assist is absolutely extraordinary.

I visited recently a station that feeds those who are HIV positive, and I asked them about the volunteers that they get to assist in feeding. They said the number of volunteers is off the charts. People really care. They do not want to have their names listed. They are people you would consider to be successful in terms of financial standing in the community. People really care.

We, as a society, do not offer sufficient kinds of opportunities for that kind of voluntarism. We provide important opportunities in many different areas, and I certainly acknowledge the work that is done by many of the very nonprofit voluntary agencies. But this is special and unique, a school-based program.

It really provides a very, very important opportunity. I think our greatest hope is that that opportunity will be expanded on over the years in the future to make voluntarism something that is basically a part of the American ethic from the earliest part of our lives until the twilight years of our lives.

Madam President, I regret having to rise to oppose the efforts of my good friends from Maryland and Massachusetts to restore funding for the Corporation for National Service. I know that the Senator from Maryland has been a champion of this and every other measure that contributes to community service, that motivates people of all ages to take an active part in their community, to be contributing members of the community, to do something with their lives that is more than just getting a paycheck, and I know how important this program is to her.

But as I weigh the priorities, Madam President, I cannot see how we would allocate the scarce resources to pay for a program which the Government Accounting Office has concluded costs, per participant, over $26,000 per year. That is a level of expenditure that I just do not believe can be sustained in our current budget.

As I indicated when we began consideration of this measure, we are trying to move from the present condition of deficit spending, where we are going $200 billion in the tank every year, to balancing our books and stopping or ending the deficit, stopping the addition of debt, almost $5 trillion worth, that is now on the backs and on the credit cards of our children and grandchildren.

Good intentions alone, unfortunately, are not enough. We must establish some priorities, and it is very difficult. But to me, I cannot see AmeriCorps ranking high enough on that priority level. I do not dispute that the program has provided some benefits to communities. I know that individuals have benefited from it. Yet, we have had to make tough choices.

I had leaders of the Nation's mayors and county officials come into my office to ask about what I was proposing in this VA-HUD bill for the communities. I discussed with them the choices that I had to make at the subcommittee level, and that the full committee had to make between the community development block grant and AmeriCorps. The local officials who judge what really makes a difference for their communities said, "Well, we like both of them, but there is no question that the community development block grant is more important in our community." That is a decision made at the local level by people elected by and responsible to the people in that community. And I cannot argue with that.

I wanted to accommodate my colleague from Maryland. I do know that there are some benefits to the AmeriCorps Program. But when the choice came to funding community development block grants or AmeriCorps, as a supporter of block grants, one who has worked with county and city officials throughout my years of service, I felt we must go with those elected by the people at the local level, who said this is their priority.

I note also that the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts said that this is a very worthwhile program and that the private sector matches it. Yet, I understand that only about 8 percent of the funds come from the private sector. This basically is a Federal Government program. We used to have a program called CETA, Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, way back many years ago when I was Governor. That program funded all kinds of jobs. After evaluation of Government-funded jobs, on a bipartisan basis, the leaders of this country, both at the State and [[Page S 14254]] national level, decided that Comprehensive Employment and Training Act funds were not the way to go.

We have seen in the Federal Government's use of the AmeriCorps jobs how expensive they can be. It will surprise some of my colleagues that $14 million out of AmeriCorps funds went to fund Federal agencies. I bet you thought that we were cutting employment in the Federal Government, because that is what we have heard. Guess what? We cut employment in the Federal Government on the one hand, and we come in through the other door, through AmeriCorps, and use AmeriCorps funds to hire people paid for by the Federal Government.

In some of those programs, the cost per participant was more expensive. For instance, one HHS program costs more than $45,000 per participant. The Navy has a wonderful Seaborne Conservation Corps. It costs $66,715 per participant. That, to me, is a pretty expensive volunteer program. AmeriCorps, across the board, costs $20 per hour. HHS projects cost $33 an hour. The Navy project costs $49 an hour. That, Madam President, is for a volunteer.

When the program was authorized 2 years ago, it was authorized as an expansion upon the concept of voluntarism. Certainly, I believe and support voluntarism in this country. It has made our country great. Most of us would not be elected to this body, or any other body, if we did not have voluntary support in our campaigns. Most good works in the community would not go forward without voluntarism. But it would be cheaper for the Federal Government to simply pay salaries for additional staff members for not-for-profit agencies than to continue this program.

We do have good programs that assist in voluntarism. The VISTA program in the Labor-HHS Subcommittee is one that I have seen work. You have to have some paid people to organize volunteers. Yes, that is one of the things you do have to have -- somebody to help organize people to make sure the volunteer efforts are effective. I agree with that program. But this is different. This is paying people to be volunteers. To me, they are no longer volunteers.

The point was made very eloquently by the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts that voluntarism is only for the wealthy, unless you are paid. I do not agree with that. The figures are that over 80 million Americans are engaged in volunteer work. I know people from all parts of the economic scale, all up and down the spectrum of wealth, who volunteer. They volunteer in churches and schools and community organizations, community betterment projects, in programs that they think are important. And these people volunteer regardless of how much they have in the way of economic resources, or even paychecks.

Voluntarism is the spirit of America. But it is not paid voluntarism. Let me emphasize that under the proposal in this bill, no members of the National Service Corps that are currently serving will be cut off. The Corporation just announced the fiscal year 1995 awards in the last few weeks. These programs will run until September 1996. It gives us an opportunity to see one more year of the experiment and to allow the not-for-profit agencies one more year to prepare for a possible change in their Federal subsidies.

From my perspective, we have not seen the administration provide any kind of support or real push to get this program in a position where it can be saved. We have asked them for their input. We have told them of the problems. We have asked how they are going to reform it. And in our hearing, the ranking member asked Mr. Segal, the chief executive officer of the Corporation, to provide the subcommittee with workable options to save the Corporation because she suggested that perhaps the request for 1996 was unrealistic.

I do not know if Mr. Segal has responded but in the amendment that has been offered by the Senator from Maryland, I commend her because she has demanded they come up with a plan, they come up with a program, to show how they can be effective in a new, reconfigured, smaller, leaner process.

I can assure you that if the administration wants to save this program, it is going to have to be reconfigured. It will have to be slimmer. It will have to get rid of the abuses.

The champion of this effort to reform the program and make it more efficient and less abusive of the process has been the Senator from Iowa, who is prepared to speak. He has invited the Corporation, administration officials, to work with him and with me on restructuring the program to ensure its survival.

Madam President, first of all, the job that the Senator from Maryland and the Senator from Missouri have on this entire budget that is within the jurisdiction of their subcommittee is a very difficult process. They are fitting all the needs that come within those programs within the 602(b) allocation they have been given.

We have a program here, AmeriCorps, that has not worked out the way the administration has said it would work out. I think that is why we are calling for either reinventing this program within the definition of the President's statements when it was first enunciated, when the program was inaugurated, or else lose the program.

That is what my letter to the President in late August said. This is the problem pointed out by the General Accounting Office. We feel that until the problems are corrected, either reinvent it, in other words, or lose it.

We have not had the cooperation of the White House on that point. That is why I think one of the reasons that the chairman felt necessary to zero out this program at this particular time and use the money someplace where there is a greater need for it.

Chuck Grassley

In the process of stating my position in support of the chairman and against the amendment by the Senator from Maryland, I do not take exception to the rationale that the Senator from Maryland or the Senator from Massachusetts gave for the necessity of promoting a great American tradition of voluntarism. I do not take exception to their points that we need to promote a communitarian spirit within our American society. I do not find any fault with anyone who says that we ought to have as a characteristic Americans giving back to the community, because we receive a lot from the community.

I do not find any fault with helping people to get education. I do not find any fault with what I have seen on television for the most part, although lately there have been some stories that are real boondoggles within these programs. Over the vast amount of the TV coverage of this program, I do not find one program of voluntarism that I find fault with.

Compare what it costs with what the managers and the President said that it would cost. We have a program that, according to the General Accounting Office, is costing $26,650 per position. Now, the workers get about $13,000 plus.

We are in a position where the President said 1 Federal dollar would leverage 1 private-sector dollar. The General Accounting Office says that only 8 percent of the $26,650 comes from the private sector.

So we have a program that is 40 percent or more in overhead and administrative costs, bureaucratic costs, when that money could better be used going to the worker. If you want to compare this whole program with another use of the money that I do not think we would find any fault with, at $26,650 we can finance 18 Pell grants for one person being educated under the provisions of AmeriCorps.

This program is not coming out of the pipeline according to the rhetoric that it went into the pipeline. We need to refocus this program so that the money goes to those who are volunteering and that the programs are within the $13,000 of Federal costs that the President and the Director said they would. [[Page S 14255]] This is a period of time when there is a great need to establish very stringent budget priorities. The middle-class American taxpayers are asking us to balance the budget. They want us to make sure that good use is made of their taxpayers' money. Hard-working taxpayers should not have to fund $18.26 for every hour of community service by Government-paid volunteers.

This Congress is committed to setting priorities that would say the money ought to be within the cost that the program was enunciated. These were programs that were going to cost much, much less than $18.26. These are good goals, but it is a high priced method to accomplish the goals of voluntarism when we have $26,650-a-year costs per position. If we keep the Federal costs within the $13,000, that means we are not going to have the high bureaucratic overhead that we have in this program that is pointed out by the General Accounting Office. That is the main reason for my letter to the President, that he needs to reinvent this program or face losing it.

I hope I come to the floor with some credibility on the issue of trying to consistently support the wise use of taxpayers' money. I hope, as has been said by some critics of our effort to reinvent this program, that it is not a political attack by Republicans on the President's most-favored program.

Similar to the Department of Defense under Reagan, AmeriCorps is one of the fastest growing programs in the budget. The administration wants to spend billions over the next several years of taxpayer dollars on this program. Just as with the Pentagon, I found that there was a tremendous waste in the AmeriCorps Program. In many cases, AmeriCorps gives the Pentagon a run for its money in the boondoggle department. For example, while the Air Force paid $7,600, as this chart shows, for a coffee pot, the AmeriCorps Program managed to work with the Navy to produce a $66,715 volunteer.

As we remember from a few years ago, the Department of Defense bought a $600 toilet seat. But the AmeriCorps workers give us a $49,652 volunteer. The Department of Defense a few years ago paid $500 for a hammer. But AmeriCorps pays $42,758 for a volunteer in new England.

There is no disputing the fact that the coffeepots, the toilet seats, and the hammers at the Department of Defense actually work. They actually work. There is no doubt in my mind that the volunteers under AmeriCorps at the Seaborne Corp., or the Magic Me, or the Youth Conservation Corps will work. But what we in Government have to do is find a more wise way to use the taxpayer dollars, whether it is with the $7,600 coffeepot at the Department of Defense or whether it is the $66,000 volunteer in AmeriCorps.

My long experience is that when the Department of Defense and their supporters are confronted with a $500 hammer story, they at least claim that there will be an end to business as usual. They state that there are going to be reforms. Frankly, sometimes these reforms are real and sometimes they are not very real at the Pentagon.

Here with AmeriCorps, we have an amendment that says all is well -- that there is nothing wrong with paying nearly $50 an hour for service to the community, nothing wrong with 50 percent cost overruns, and nothing wrong with the taxpayers footing 92 percent of the bill. When it comes to AmeriCorps, $1 of Federal money was going to leverage $1 of private sector contribution to the program. This amendment is the same as Congress saying $500 hammers are completely acceptable, and voting to increase the Pentagon's hardware budget.

So, as I said, I wrote to President Clinton last month offering to work with him to reinvent the AmeriCorps Program. I asked him to sit down with Congress and work cooperatively with us in finding ways to have the AmeriCorps Program meet original goals as defined by the President of the United States -- not by anybody in this Congress -- by the goals that he hoped to achieve and the costs of those programs, and the amount that would come from the private sector and the amount that would come from the taxpayers.

Unfortunately, while the President has found the time to give inspiring speeches in support of AmeriCorps, he has found no time to roll up his sleeves and find common ground with the Congress. It is unfortunate at a time when I asked for common ground with the President that he is giving speeches all over the country wanting to find common ground with the Republican Congress, but never does the common ground of the President ever seem to be the same common ground that we ask for from here.

The administration, at the last hour, at least has responded to our letter today. My letter was sent on August 29. The administration has finally sent a letter in response. Frankly, the letter says nothing. The administration has wrapped up its same tired lines and excuses with a new ribbon. Sadly, it offers nothing new in the way of cooperating with Congress or finding the common ground that is the President's watchword of the last 2 months.

In sum, the administration's response says continue to waste the taxpayers' money on these $66,000 volunteers, continue to hire over 2,000 volunteers to work for the Federal Government, and continue to spend half of the money on overhead and administration instead of helping young people pay for college.

It reminds me of the story of the emperor's clothes. Everyone in the administration is just too afraid to tell the President that AmeriCorps has no clothes, that it is a boondoggle, at least from the standpoint of these high-paying jobs, at least from the standpoint that it is not fitting within the $13,000 of Federal costs that the President defined as what the programs would cost, at least from the standpoint of $1 of Federal money not leveraging $1 from the private sector.

The amendment that is before us, as well intended as it might be to continue the promotion of the communitarian spirit in America, is really just a continuation of the status quo of business as usual.

My colleagues should clearly understand though that this amendment is not the life or death of AmeriCorps. This is about whether there will be a reform of AmeriCorps to stop the waste of the taxpayers' money.

There will be long discussions with the administration regarding the VA-HUD appropriations bill. I am confident that there will be funding for AmeriCorps when the day is done. This amendment is about whether we will undercut efforts to reform this program.

So I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment. I want them to vote for protecting the taxpayers' money. I want them to be able to help more young people attend college. At the same time, I think we ought to take into consideration that while we are talking about preserving 20,000 AmeriCorps positions, for every one AmeriCorps position, you want to remember that there are 190 young Americans, totaling up I think to 3.9 million Americans, young Americans, I want to emphasize -- that is by our Department of Commerce figures -- who volunteer every year without getting paid for it.

We need to remind these volunteers who do not get paid that their work is worthy work, even though they do not get paid. The best way I know to do [[Page S 14256]] that is to make sure that the President's objective is met of having these positions paid relatively small amounts of money to earn a stipend to go to college, to leverage $1 of private sector money for every $1 of Federal money spent, and staying within those guidelines that the President set -- not that we set -- is the best way to show the 3.9 million young people who volunteer that their work is appreciated as well.

Perhaps we can accomplish the President's goals of young people being educated, promoting the communitarian spirit, helping people in need, without jeopardizing either the public sector attempt to do that or a gigantic private sector attempt that has been characteristic of American society for decades before there was ever a President Clinton.

Before the Senator from Iowa leaves the floor, I would like to say three things. First, I know that the Senator is not out to torpedo the program but to reform the program. He was one of the first to raise concerns about the program, and as he recalls, I joined with him in the GAO report.

I also have in my possession the letters that he did send to the President asking for a reformed framework. I would like to recognize and acknowledge the validity of the Senator's concerns about that, and I think the Senator should have gotten a better response. I think I was owed a better response.

Third, I wish to say to the Senator, however, if this amendment goes down, national service is zeroed out. So it will not be about reforming national service; it will be about ending national service. So we will talk more.

I should point out that the figure he uses of $27,000 is the total amount, including tools and equipment. For example, Judy Wagner of my staff just gave me a report where in one community they built a farmers' market. That includes all the aid equipment. In terms of Federal expenditures, it amounts to $17,600 per volunteer. That is a very different thing.

Second, I point out to both Senator Grassley and my colleague from Missouri, Senator Bond, that some of the abuses they have cited are of people who have worked for the Federal Government. The Mikulski amendment knocks out service for Federal agencies, and I think properly so. So that moves us in the right direction.

Back when I was a Member of the House, I held hearings on this whole idea of service, and one of the people who testified was Harris Wofford, our former colleague, who then was President of Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. I would, frankly, today vote for a 1-year requirement for everyone to serve this Nation in some capacity, and if you wanted to serve in the military, you got a little extra incentive of some kind or another, but you had to work for a mental hospital or park district or something. Frankly, it was good for me when I served in the Army for 2 years to come and be in a mix with a great many people, and I think it is good for others.

In terms of return on investment, I quote Stan Litow, an IBM executive, who reviewed the cost-benefit study and came to the conclusion that this program is sound. "This program works," he said.

Senator Bond made a reference to CETA. The CETA Program, frankly, was for unemployed people. This is a very different thing, and it brings in people to work together in areas where they have not often worked. This is different from the VISTA Program. There is obviously much cooperation.

I remember being in an impoverished area of Cincinnati. I walked into a little, one-person store, and there was a man explaining to this person who was running the store how to keep books. I walked out, and I thanked him for volunteering to do this. He told me at that point he was the treasurer of Procter & Gamble, and he said, "I should thank you." He said, "I didn't really understand our country until I volunteered." I think we have to learn about one another more than we are. We are going to have to learn what it is like in another neighborhood. I think this is part of that. I read in -- this may surprise the Presiding Officer -- one of Rush Limbaugh's books -- and I confess to having purchased two of his books and giving him a little bit of royalty -- he said, "We are not being asked to sacrifice as Americans today." I think he is correct, and this is a way of bringing out the noble in people.

Government leaders can appeal to either the noble or the greed in all of us, and too often I think we pander to the greed. It is easy. But we should be appealing to the noble. And that is what this program does. I think it is a good program.

I remember -- and I am sure Senator Mikulski will remember -- that during the 1992 campaign when Bill Clinton was going around making speeches, the one line in his speech that got enthusiastic applause was when he said, "We are going to establish a volunteer service corps." I do not imagine the Presiding Officer was at any of those rallies and did not hear that line, but it was a response from the American people. They like the idea of appealing to people to volunteer for things.

Now, if there are improvements that should be made in the program -- and there probably are -- let us make the improvements. I think the Mikulski amendment makes some of those improvements. But let us not kill the program. That is what we do without an amendment. So I hope my colleagues will vote for the Mikulski amendment.

Patrick Leahy

Engaging Americans of all ages to help communities solve their own problems is a worthy goal. AmeriCorps builds a sense of community responsibility and is certainly a better investment than the $1 billion this Congress plans to spend for each B-2 bomber.

The greatest threat facing our cities and towns today is the loss of a sense of community responsibility. The best weapon against rising crime, hunger, and illegitimacy is for every American to take an active interest in their community.

AmeriCorps provides inspiration by inviting Americans to give something back -- to reestablish the local ties that have been so important to this country. I cannot think of a better program to invest Federal dollars in.

The 130 AmeriCorps members in Vermont are fighting hunger and malnutrition, improving trails and wildlife habitat in the Green Mountain National Forest, and helping rural communities develop fire protection plans. Others are helping troubled youths get back on their feet and aiding the blind.

AmeriCorps is an experiment that is working. The least we can do is to allow that experiment to continue. [[Page S 14257]] I urge my colleagues to support Senator Mikulski's amendment providing funding for the Corporation for National Service in 1996.

Mr. President, much has been raised about the concerns over the fiscal responsibility of national service, and the GAO report, I believe, shows that we are getting a dollar's worth of services for a dollar's worth of taxes. In the interest, also, of not running up the printing cost of the Federal Government, I would like to include only the executive summary of the GAO report in the Congressional Record.

The Corporation's efforts are already making an incredible difference in America's communities. In my State of Connecticut, AmeriCorps sponsors 20 different programs. The largest, leadership, education and athletics in partnership in New Haven, has 164 members working with needy children providing tutoring and mentoring. During the summer months, many of the volunteers live in the community housing projects and work with the children throughout the summer months.

A recent study of the work of just 8 percent of AmeriCorps volunteers found the volunteers were having an extraordinary impact. Nearly 8,000 pre-school and elementary students were tutored in basic education; 17,000 needy people were fed, and thousands of school hallways were made safer.

AmeriCorps has also made a significant difference in the lives of volunteers -- who not only gain knowledge and satisfaction from their work but who also are able to pursue additional education and training and pay off student loans. After devoting their energies to rebuilding their communities, volunteers received a modest post-service educational benefit of $4,725.

This makes a substantial difference for today's students as student indebtedness rises to alarming levels. More than half of all AmeriCorps members come from families with household incomes between $15,000 and $50,000 -- the average family income was $33,500 overall -- the very families who find the educational award so important in helping to manage the spiraling costs of college.

Mr. President, I know personally what a difference voluntary service can make in a young person's life. Over 30 years ago, hundreds of young Americans answered President Kennedy's call to service in the Peace Corps. I was one of them, and was sent to the Dominican Republic for 2 of the most rewarding years of my life. I would like to think that the maternity hospital I helped construct has made a lasting difference in that community. But I certainly know that the experience made an incredible difference in my life.

Mr. President, the benefits of national and community service may be lost here in Congress, but they are not lost on the American public. The vast majority of Americans support the AmeriCorps Program. A recent Gallop Poll showed that 91 percent of Americans supported national service. A Los Angeles Times poll indicated that 70 percent of Americans like this program -- including 60 percent of Republicans and conservatives.

I want to offer my support for Senator Mikulski's amendment. I was a skeptic of this program when it was first proposed. It sounded too expensive, and the concept of stripended service seemed incongruous with voluntarism.

That was before I had a chance to see the positive impact of this program on the ground in my own State of Rhode Island. Young people from all walks of life have gone into a number of communities to help clean up neighborhoods, improve the literacy of inner city school children, and to improve public safety and the environment.

Let me give you an example of what we are finding in Rhode Island. Two years ago, Marilyn Concepcion was a high school dropout. Getting that far was an accmplisment; no one in her family had ever gone beyond the sixth grade. This 19-year-old woman joined Rhode Island City Year, an AmeriCorps program, to earn her GED certificate.

With training from the City Year staff, Concepcion began to tutor and mentor a group of first graders. She taught them to read, taught English as a second language, gave them insight into the value of learing, the importance of an education. Some of these children had never been given the type of encouragement that Marilyn Concepcion provided.

The short-term impact Marilyn Concepcion had on these children's lives has been measurable. They pay attention more in school, their self-esteem has been increased. But the real impact, the most concrete effect on their lives may not be felt for another 10 to 12 years, when these children become members of the work force or go onto college.

Spurred by the positive influence she'd had on her students, Marilyn Concepcion decided she wanted to go to college. She applied to, and was accepted by, Brown University. She became the first recipient of Brown's offer to match the $4,700 AmeriCorps educational award -- a challenge grant program just announced by a number of universities and colleges in our State.

If this is the kind of results we are obtaining with only 1 year of experience, I think it is only fair that we let this program continue for some period of time to better evaluate its performance.

Let me begin by saying that if the Senate is interested in engaging in a productive debate on the accomplishments of AmeriCorps -- and on real suggestions for improving the program -- I would welcome that debate. Very few programs managed by government at any level couldn't be made better, and wouldn't benefit from an ongoing public review. The amendment offered by the Senator from Maryland both saves AmeriCorps and, in my judgement, improves it.

And AmeriCorps is worth saving, Mr. President. It is worth saving because, as the General Accounting Office stated in its August l995 report, "at the grantees' sites we visited, we found that the projects had been designed to strengthen communities, develop civic responsibility, and expand educational opportunities for program participants." How do we identify the catalysts for vesting our people in our Nation? How can we encourage our children to feel an obligation and a responsibility to contribute to the strength and security of America throughout their lives?

Is it possible that those who work for a year to hold together a crumbling neighborhood will never forget the responsibility of every man and woman to build and to sustain?

It is my hope that national service will be a catalyst for a lifetime of community service. It is my hope that experiencing the tangible results of strengthening and teaching will convince our people that citizenship has value, that individuals who roll up their sleeves and enter the fray can personally make something richer and stronger.

With every national service slot we fund, Mr. President, we give another American an intense, all encompassing, opportunity to serve. And by investing in them, we gamble that they will then invest in us.

I am willing to take that gamble, Mr. President. I am willing to reach for something to help fight this giant malaise that seems to permeate so many of [[Page S 14260]] our citizens. I am willing to grab a tiny particle of idealism and see how far we can take it.

Mr. President, homelessness is a problem that the American people want solved. The number of homeless Americans has grown steadily over the last three decades and it will continue to grow until we responsibly address the issue of homelessness. Studies put the number of homeless at more than 600,000 people on any given night. It is even more shocking to find that children are now the fastest growing portion of this homeless population. As a caring Nation, we must no longer ignore this growing and often overlooked part of our population. I firmly believe that every citizen deserves not only a place to sleep at night, but a real opportunity to improve their lives. Our national efforts must focus on helping these families.

Senator Sarbanes' amendment restores $360 million for homeless assistance funding to the fiscal year 1996 VA-HUD appropriations bill, bringing the funding level back up to fiscal year 1995 levels. These funds will enable local governments, communities, and nonprofits to form comprehensive, flexible and coordinated strategies for ending homelessness. These funds will help local agencies leverage additional money needed to aid homeless people with disabilities, create more housing and provide the services and facilities needed to move people into situations where they can live independently.

Restoring homeless assistance funding to 1995 levels is also an important part of the authorizing committee's effort to reform HUD in general and specifically to reform our delivery of homeless assistance. Last year's Senate Banking Committee bill created a single formula grant program which would replace the seven different categorical grant programs at HUD. This formula grant will allow better coordination of homeless services at the local level and facilitate better planning as funding levels become more predictable. The VA-HUD bill allows for this formula but does not provide adequate funding. The funds restored in this amendment will raise homeless assistance funding to a level that will allow a formula approach to make sense.

Unfortunately, no matter how we restructure HUD, during the transition some people are going to fall through the cracks. The homeless programs are the safety net that catches them.

Mr. President, earlier this year I had a chance to meet with Lucie McKinney and she reminded me of her late husband's tireless efforts and determination to end the cycle of homelessness. We must do all we can to continue Stewart McKinney's work.

Mr. President, I am proud to be a cosponsor of the amendment to ensure the survival of AmeriCorps, today's commitment to national service throughout the country and in my State of West Virginia. I was proud to be an original cosponsor of the legislation that created AmeriCorps.

I know something about the importance of public service because of the VISTA program back in 1964. After President Kennedy issued his famous call for serving our country, I went to West Virginia through the VISTA program and to a place called Emmon that changed the course of my life.

AmeriCorps is a wise and meaningful investment in our country's future. Whenever I am home talking to West Virginians of every age, I see heads nod when the idea of national service comes up. West Virginians and our fellow Americans believe in the values of service and responsibility, and AmeriCorps is a very exciting, important way for these values to have meaning. It is incredible to see this appropriations bill include a retreat from one of the most exciting initiatives taken in the recent years. We should be working together to renew and reinvigorate service, especially by our young people, and not retreat from it.

There is a great deal of talk about solving problems at the local level and working in communities. I agree and I believe that AmeriCorps is one Federal program that successfully delivers on this promise. For every Federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps, we reap as much as $2.60 in return.

In West Virginia, the AmeriCorps program places workers at seven domestic violence shelters to help battered women and children with a range of issues. I have visited a shelter in West Virginia and was deeply touched by the need to help women and their children caught in violent homes. This is important community work, and AmeriCorps is helping make a difference.

My State also sponsors Project HEALTH -- Health Education Associates Learning to Teach Health -- which places 20 AmeriCorps members in 15 sites that focus on promoting health care in rural areas. This is a unique partnership program with the Kellogg Foundation, my State, and AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps workers will be promoting child immunizations, working to reduce the prevalence of low birth weight, and promoting healthy behaviors.

AmeriCorps members are also involved in a West Virginia project called Energy Express. This is an innovative summer program for disadvantaged children that combines remedial education and child nutrition. Energy Express also works to promote parental involvement with a child's education which is a goal we all share.

I could go on and on about the extraordinary work by AmeriCorps and the other service programs sponsored in my State. We have more than 20,000 West Virginians participating in public service initiatives thanks to the leadership and encouragement of the Corporation for National and Community Service. There are 189 West Virginians in AmeriCorps, and others are involved in VISTA, RSVP, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, and "Learn and Service" in the schools. The Corporation for National and Community Service weaves all of these important incentives together.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that two West Virginia articles be printed in the Record. These pieces tell the story of AmeriCorps in West Virginia more eloquently than I can.

I stand behind this program not from reading the glossy brochures that highlight its achievements. I believe in the work that AmeriCorps does from seeing young adults in my State coming together for a common goal. I have met these students and witnessed their accomplishments, and must tell you that communities throughout my State are praising their work.

Certainly, cries of deficit reduction have wrapped themselves around this debate. However, the return on America's Federal dollar has been proven to be quite substantial in recent studies. A research report conducted last year by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory looked at two Washington State Americorps projects in Hoquiam and Lake Chelan.

For every Federal dollar spent on these two AmeriCorps projects, a $2.40 return can be expected. Even beyond the many direct skills and experiences derived from AmeriCorps participants that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, monetary benefits were still found to substantially exceed costs.

Mr. President, I wonder how my colleagues can look these young people in the eye and tell them that Congress has pulled the plug on an opportunity that shapes their future while improving our communities. I strongly urge [[Page S 14262]] my fellow Members to think critically about what we fund that truly makes a difference in the lives of our next generation. Americorps is the answer that provides a cost-effective solution to meeting many of our Nation's concerns.

Mr. President, I rise in strong support of the amendment offered by my colleague from Maryland, Senator Mikulski, to restore funding to the Corporation for National and Community Service. When the conference report on the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 came before the Senate for final approval, I was proud to cast my vote in favor of this important legislation and I am equally proud to stand before the Senate today to reaffirm my support for the Corporation and its mission.

Signed into law on September 21, 1993, the National Service Act has helped to renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the spirit of community service while also providing critical assistance to needy communities throughout the Nation. The measure has also encouraged and, more importantly, provided the opportunity for thousands of Americans to give of themselves for the greater good while earning money to further their education. In my view, the legislation effectively merges education and service, two critical components of a healthy society.

Now, several of my colleagues in stating their opposition to continued funding for the National Service Corporation have expressed the view that it is not the role of the Federal Government to subsidize community service; that to pay volunteers through a Federal program runs contrary to the spirit of local community-based service. I would urge those who hold this view to look to history. Our society and the unique form of government we enjoy was built on the strength of national service and, in my view, fostering the investment in and providing the leadership for increased opportunity to serve is a responsibility we all share.

Mr. President, Americorps, the centerpiece of the national service program, is not one large Federal program, but a network of locally developed and locally managed service corps which gives thousands of young people the opportunity to serve their country while improving the lives of themselves and their neighbors. Moreover, the initial investment we have made has encouraged increased private sector involvement in community service programs, including Americorps.

I encourage opponents of national service to look carefully at the success of many of the Americorps programs operating in communities across the United States. Information gathered from site visits by the General Accounting Office (GAO) indicate that an overwhelming majority of the programs across the country serve their purpose. In my State of Maryland, the Montgomery County Police Department is operating a Community Assisting Policing program designed to engage volunteers in education and outreach efforts to control and prevent crime and to reduce fear in at-risk communities. The GAO found that participants were involved in such projects as organizing a school Crime Awareness Day, teaching senior citizens how to protect themselves from crime, and analyzing neighborhood crime statistics to identify problem areas.

The GAO also visited MAGIC ME America, a nonprofit organization founded in Baltimore in 1980. The central mission of the MAGIC ME organization, which operated three AmeriCorps programs nationwide, is to motivate and educate teens by involving them in local community service projects. The GAO reported that participants in the MAGIC ME Program in Baltimore found that the program helped them to build their self-esteem and confidence and that all three participants interviewed planned to use their education awards to start or return to college. Additionally, staff members at three of the area facilities served by AmeriCorps volunteers stated that their presence was a key ingredient to the program. With the help of the AmeriCorps Program, MAGIC ME estimates that they have been able to increase the number of people served by over 800 percent in their three AmeriCorps Program sites.

Mr. President, it is my view that national service, and those who participate in national service represent the best of our Nation. In the tradition of the Peace Corps and VISTA, AmeriCorps strengthens the beliefs and values that are at the very root of American citizenship -- the tradition of serving others, the value of taking personal responsibility for ourselves and our communities, and the belief that to who much is given, much is expected. Through programs like AmeriCorps we provide our Nation with both an opportunity and an obligation. National service requests a contribution to the community while providing individuals with the opportunity to develop skills which will serve them well throughout their lives.

As I have indicated through examples in my own State, the national service program is effective; it does work. At a time when we as a society are searching for ways in which to strengthen our families and our communities it would be foolhardy to abandon this national service initiative. I urge my colleagues to join me in applauding those who have answered the call to service through AmeriCorps and other national service opportunities. These individuals are taking part in the oldest and best of America's traditions -- the spirit of service -- and they deserve our support.

Mr. President, I welcome the opportunity to respond to some of the issues and questions that have been raised about the AmeriCorps and the costs for this program. And I listened, even though I was not on the floor, to both the response by the Senator from Maryland as well as the Senator from Illinois, Senator Simon, about some of the points that have been raised about AmeriCorps working with governmental agencies and how that issue is addressed in the Senator's amendment.

Second, I listened to those who have talked about AmeriCorps and the cost of the program, and also how much is expended in costs that are related to the AmeriCorps volunteer. I think it is important that we understand the terms that are being used and the costs that are being allocated to the different projects.

I have a chart here, Mr. President. I understand that this presents a breakdown of the total cost per member by category. I think there is some confusion about what the costs are in terms of the member. And I thought I would review this chart because I think it illustrates by this chart exactly what is being expended for the AmeriCorps and the costs which are related to the service of an AmeriCorps member. We are talking about two different items, and it has been very easy for those who have been opposed to this program to try to somehow lump all of those together and give a distorted view as to actually what is expended on behalf of the AmeriCorps volunteer.

For each AmeriCorps volunteer the Corporation spends $6,200 on the stipend over the course of the year. This represents 33 percent. We have the education award, which is $4,700. We have the health care, which is $1,200. Those all go into the costs. And then we have the AmeriCorps overhead at 7 percent.

I wonder how many of the governmental agencies are able to have an administrative cost at that figure -- at [[Page S 14263]] some 7 percent -- which is very impressive, and indicates that for every dollar that is actually expended, only a small amount of that dollar is used for program administration.

Now, the other programs which are related in terms of the general costs are what are considered local program operations. This is the $4,300 over here. These are the tools by which the AmeriCorps volunteer is able to make the voluntary contribution. This is for projects like housing rehabilitation. These are the saws, the hammers, the nails, the equipment the AmeriCorps member is using.

There have been those on the floor of the Senate who have taken this figure, whether in this average figure where it is $4,300, 24 percent -- or whether it would be even larger, depending on the particular program and have put it all in overhead to somehow say that the costs of the AmeriCorps Program is far in excess of what was estimated and far out of control.

That kind of confused calculation has been done with regard to the Navy's Seaborne Conservation Corps program. We have heard about the costs per participant being $66,000. I have the excellent response by Congressman Green that analyzes those figures to show that at the bottom line, the actual costs were $16,641.

We know that the 7 percent, which is actually the figure named in the legislation authorizing AmeriCorps, requiring leveraging of private support was far exceeded. In its first year, AmeriCorps raised $91 million in matching funds, nearly three times the amount required by law; $41 million came from the private sector, more than $32 million legally required from all sources. Over 600 businesses, from local concerns to national corporations like IBM and General Electric, have directly contributed money, uniforms, tools, equipment, and training.

And therefore, again, if you use selective figures to try to downplay the private sector's contribution, you can make a debater's point, but it is not an accurate reflection of reality. The figures I have given show the real participation and contributions that have been made. And I think, Mr. President, an even a greater indication of the value of AmeriCorps is not just what I say about this private-sector participation, but what the leaders of the various voluntary agencies and the other project leaders have said about AmeriCorps. There have been the most commendable and enthusiastic statements, across the board. In a number of instances these statements come from some by those who were skeptical about the whole program and ended up being enthusiastic about what these volunteers really mean.

Mr. President, both those who have supported AmeriCorps and those opposed to it have evaluated the service and the corps. You find out that even by the minimum evaluation, about two and a half times the benefit comes back from the expenditures. This is demonstrated by a cost analysis of the program.

So, Mr. President, I think the points that have been made earlier by the Senator from Maryland in terms of the costs of the program, in terms of the private participation, and responding to the criticisms that are made about involving the AmeriCorps with governmental agencies, all are extremely important issues that should be responded to. And I think we have tried to do that this afternoon.

I just say, finally, we want to keep our eyes on one important point, the $4,700, the educational award, is also eliminated in this appropriations bill. And this is at a time when we are cutting on student loan programs. We reported out of our committee earlier today what is effectively a tax on every college in this country, based upon the amount of the student loan programs.

Mr. President, at a time when we are cutting back on the student loan program, or at least making it much more expensive, this program is out there. These individuals, by and large, are involved because they want to give something back to the community. Their greatest reward is not only their personal satisfaction and service to the community, but an opportunity for education, which is certainly a matter of national interest.

Hampshire College in my own State -- and I will include in the Record a number of the schools and colleges that are matching these education awards two and three times in recognition of the service these young and old people are providing for the community. I thank the Senator from Maryland.

I appreciate what both he and the Senator from Iowa have done in pointing out some of the problems with this new program that is called AmeriCorps. My position is that at this time of severe budgetary crisis in this country, at a time when we are trying to balance the Federal budget, it is not the time to be starting new Federal programs with substantial expenses which, frankly, are not cost beneficial in terms of the degree of support that it provides to the American people.

As a brand new program, AmeriCorps costs American taxpayers $367 million in 1994, and the GAO estimates that AmeriCorps costs nearly $27,000 for each volunteer. It is not an effective jobs or education program, and I submit, Mr. President, that it is not going to increase voluntarism in this country or in my home State of Arizona.

For example, the Arizona AmeriCorps Program, called the Border Volunteer Corps, was one of the largest programs. It received $2.6 million in the 1994 and 1995 service year. But it will not be federally funded this year through the Corporation for National Service. The reason is because the Arizona-Mexico Commission, the Arizona sponsor, pulled out because of alleged mismanagement of this program.

We know today, Americans 18 and up volunteer 19.5 billion hours of their time, which is a 50-percent increase in the number of hours since 1981. Turning voluntarism into a wide-scale public jobs project, it seems to me, will undermine public philanthropy. We are doing well in volunteering in this country, not paying people to be volunteers.

Moreover, as other speakers have pointed out, AmeriCorps is not based on need. Certainly, today in our effort to prioritize where Federal dollars are going, Federal higher education dollars, if that is what these are targeted to be, should be targeted toward those who are most in need of assistance. AmeriCorps does not promote voluntarism because it is not a volunteer program. Students are paid $7,400 for work and given $4,750 toward education costs for 2 years. In addition, recipients are guaranteed health and child care benefits. [[Page S 14264]] For the average $20,000 to $30,000 cost per year per student in AmeriCorps, eight needy students could receive Pell grants at $2,400 each. Eight needy students -- and that is the definition of the qualification for Pell grants -- could be served with this same amount of money, in other words, that we pay for one AmeriCorps volunteer.

So this volunteer program will cost $26 million for these 1,000 participants. Of course, the taxpayers fit the bill for AmeriCorps and not just for the good work that they do, but also for everything else associated with their work, including their training and a lot of interesting kinds of seminars.

According to John Walters of the New Citizenship Project, AmeriCorps volunteers spend one-fifth of their time in training, education and other nondirect service activities. So the taxpayers pay for nonneedy students to participate in self-esteem and other government classes and seminars.

It is also, I think, a problem here because, Mr. President, at the time we are trying to reduce the Federal bureaucracy, AmeriCorps volunteers are becoming part of a Federal bureaucracy. Over 2,800, in other words, about 20 percent, of the 20,000 AmeriCorps volunteers are assigned to Federal agencies, including Agriculture, Interior, National Endowment for the Arts, and others.

I think the bottom line is that for fiscal reasons, we have to limit AmeriCorps spending, and that is why I support what the Senator from Missouri is trying to do today. It simply costs the American taxpayer too much for the benefits that it provides, and I suggest that it should be eliminated.

We ought to examine the intent and the costs of the program. For example, we should get answers to why the AmeriCorps program costs $42,000 per person per student in Alaska. More than 16 students in that State could participate in the Pell grant program for the same amount of money that is used to sponsor one AmeriCorps volunteer.

Or why $1.7 million of the AmeriCorps budget has been spent on an AmeriCorps advertisement campaign. This year alone, the Government will pay more than $3 billion in interest on our national debt. That is about $1,100 for every man, woman and child in the country, enough to pay a year's tuition for a young woman or young man, for example, to attend Arizona State University.

Reducing funding for AmeriCorps is one small but very important way that we can begin to prioritize how Washington spends the taxpayers' money.

Two years ago, I was very proud to be a lead Republican sponsor of the National Community Service Trust Act. My support for this endeavor comes from a long-held belief that national and community service is essential in addressing many of our unmet social and educational needs. Community service is the cornerstone of democracy, where those who have much have a responsibility to help those who have little. Providing public service as a means of training individuals, while at the same time supplying benefits to a community, is a win-win initiative.

It is interesting to note that the critics of national service have never criticized the goals of the program. They focus their criticism on the cost of national service activities with figures which are highly debatable, but not the worthiness of the efforts.

I beg to differ with those who say we do not have the dollars for national service activities. We do have the resources to devote to this worthy effort. For example, since 1980, we have downsized our military enrollees by 184,790, representing 54 percent drop. The savings generated from curtailing new recruits by 184,000 is close to $2.7 billion per year, much more than we spend on this program. And yet we have reduced the opportunity to 184,790 individuals each year, who otherwise would get help from the Federal Government to assist them in learning skills and being able to participate in a more meaningful way in our society. All we are doing with this amendment is taking a small proportion of those who now no longer have that opportunity, approximately 20,000, and give them the chance to take part in this program.

Although we are downsizing our military, many young people still have the desire to become involved in public service. We are not providing them an opportunity to contribute if we do away with national service.

I point out that those 184,000 no longer in the military would have had an opportunity to get the same kind of scholarship they could get with national service through the military. Now due to downsizing of our Armed Forces, that opportunity is no longer available to them. So the elimination of national service will effectively remove another avenue for a large number of young people to obtain educational opportunities.

Let us remember that national and community service is not a program that young people engage in because they are free for the summer or because they have nothing better to do. Participation in service requires true commitment. This is a program that demands that youth spend at least 1 year in full service, or 2 years in part-time service in an area of national need.

Through a combination of hard work and commitment, National service has surpassed the expectations we all had when this legislation was enacted almost 2 years ago. National service was not designed to result in miracles on a grand scale, but there are many examples of minor miracles occurring daily throughout the United States. Some of these examples include, Youth Conservation Corps participants who have assisted Midwestern families afflicted by this spring's floods, the Teach for America participant who not only taught children in Watts how to read, but also how to love, and the Battleboro, VT, Independent Living project participants who assist the elderly and individuals with disabilities so they can remain in their homes instead of being forced to live in an institutional setting.

Mr. President, I was struck by the comment of my friend from Vermont that we do have the resources to fund AmeriCorps. I think this amendment, which I have now had an opportunity to study a bit more, reflects just how difficult these funding choices are. I said earlier that when I made my recommendations, I had to weigh AmeriCorps versus community development block grants. I was interested to see what the sponsors of this amendment show as their offsets because we have to keep this amendment budget neutral.

Well, this amendment uses two accounts for offsets, both of them from Housing and Urban Development. The first cuts the annual contributions for assisted housing accounts by an additional $383 million by taking an unspecified reduction. This could affect section 202 housing for the elderly, or the section 8(11) program for the disabled, or even housing for AIDS victims.

Other activities in this account include vouchers for displaced families. Incidentally, when we are looking at family vouchers, for each AmeriCorps volunteer, four low-income families could be given housing for a year. Is this truly our priority? Is it truly our priority to pay one young person what otherwise could go to providing assisted housing for four families needing housing? I do not think so. That is part of the problem I have with AmeriCorps in this budget.

In addition, in the rescissions bill which was adopted by this body and signed by the President earlier this summer, there was already a $1.12 billion reduction in this housing account. And the Department of HUD is telling us of their difficulty in identifying those reductions. To impose a further $383 million cut could impact real programs and real housing assistance for low-income families, the elderly and the disabled. One of the great complaints I have heard about this bill, as it has been submitted by the committee, is that it cuts HUD too much. This amendment would cut HUD further. Frankly, I was not willing to do that. I do not think it is a good idea.

The other offset proposed in this amendment is achieved by increasing the individual limit on mortgages for the FHA-guaranteed program. Now, this is a very controversial provision. Under this amendment, mortgages as large as $175,000 would be eligible for Government guarantees. That is raising from the current limit of about $152,000. These are not and should not be the sector of the housing market that the Government guarantees should cover. Moreover, private mortgage insurance is readily available in those mortgages. This proposal would expand the role and scope of Government. It is something that has been debated in the authorizing committees. I believe it is not wise because it would place the Government in greater competition with the private mortgage insurance market and likely increase FHA's market share in the area at a time when the private market is doing more and more.

President Clinton has talked about reinventing Government and bringing it under control. The Republicans who were elected in 1994 talked about limiting the scope and the role of Government. This amendment goes in the opposite direction from both of those objectives. To make the argument that we should increase the maximum allowable loan amount because it generates more money is to say that the best reason for a Government program is that it makes money. That is not the right approach.

I think the only valid justification for a program is a public purpose that can only be achieved by Government. There is no public purpose served by expanding Government's role into the already served private market. I believe this proposal is corporate welfare for lenders who currently receive servicing fees far higher than market levels for handling loans with no risk. Actually, it is a risk assumed by the taxpayers, not by the lenders.

I think there is real reform needed in the AmeriCorps, National Service Corps. I am very pleased that the sponsors of the amendment -- and I congratulate the Senator from Maryland for putting in a proviso that none of the funds available shall be used to administer, reimburse, or support any national service programs run by Federal agencies. We were astounded earlier this year to learn, Mr. President, when we wanted to find out where the money was going at the national level, that AmeriCorps had been funding the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Interior, Justice, Labor, Transportation, EPA, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Well, according to the letters that we have received from OMB Director Rivlin and from Mr. Segal, they are not willing to talk about any reforms. I strongly support and commend the Senator from Maryland for agreeing to take out all of these Government agencies. AmeriCorps was funding these governmental agencies, and they were passing over Future Farmers of America, National 4-H Council, Girl Scouts of America, American Red Cross, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Clubs, National Audubon Society, United Negro College Fund, United Way of America, United Cerebral Palsy Association, Goodwill Industries International.

These are the traditional volunteer agencies that most people think of in America when you talk about volunteers. Yet, they were passing over those. They were passing over those, in some instances, to go to Federal Government agencies. I am glad and I congratulate the sponsor of this amendment for knocking out those Federal agencies. But I also want to point out that there was strange scoring done. When you look at the independent assessment made by an outside agency who ranked these applicants, they had to reach way down in the rankings -- from an impartial ranking group -- to find some of the organizations that were funded. They overlooked Big Brothers/Big Sisters, National Urban League and Student Conservation to provide funding for an ACORN project.

Well, as Senator Grassley has learned -- and I believe he may have a statement later on -- the ACORN project was involved directly in political activity. They were soliciting votes, actually involved directly in a campaign against a city councilman in Denver.

I think it is time that we had a commitment from this administration for a thorough reform of AmeriCorps before we even consider putting funds that are badly needed in other agencies into that program. I received a letter from Peter Hoekstra on the House side, chairman of the Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee. He was an original supporter of the Corporation for National Service. He said, at the time, "I believed that this would be an efficient and effective use of taxpayer dollars. However, after conducting an independent evaluation of how money flows from the Corporation to AmeriCorps programs and how these funds are spent, I have grave concerns about the continuation of this program." He states that he has begun a dialog but he finds that it is safe to say that AmeriCorps has been and likely continues to be an avenue for partisanship. "The recent move by the Corporation to defund ACORN and Cole Coalition only serves to highlight the seriousness of this problem. In the case of ACORN, AmeriCorps' IG has pointed out numerous cases of lobbying, fund raising, and even voter registration carried out by AmeriCorps members." Congressman Hoekstra goes on to say, "Finally, our subcommittee is in the process of reviewing CNS' grant-making procedures. Our preliminary findings reveal a less than comprehensible procedure, whereby grant scoring often has little to do with who receives the final grants." I really believe that before we consider trying to take money away from HUD, from assisted housing for those who are in grave need, for the people who are elderly, who are disabled, or the people with AIDS, that the administration at least owes us a good-faith effort to make sure that the dollars that are spent in AmeriCorps are not being spent for political purposes, they are not being wasted on high-cost projects.

I reiterate my point that in these very tight budget times, I do not think that paying money to volunteers in this program is a higher priority than taking care of the needs of those who depend upon HUD for federally assisted [[Page S 14266]] housing. I reserve the balance of my time.

There is very little the Federal Government can do about moral values. That is something that is shaped by families and communities and churches. One of the things we can do is the Government can help teach young people that they owe something to their country and to each other and that membership in the community conveys both rights and responsibilities.

The Senator from Georgia is on the floor. He had a national service piece of legislation which I and several others supported over the years. The notion that we are going to instill in our children that they have an obligation to their community and to their country -- my own experience, we focus, I believe, too much on just what the benefit to the recipients of this service is.

I suggest one of the greatest benefits of AmeriCorps is what it teaches those who participate in AmeriCorps. My son was in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. No relationship, no remuneration, but he spent a year in a community service project in a homeless shelter out in Portland, OR. I know he benefited more from that experience, quite frankly, than almost anybody he helped benefit.

I also add, Mr. President, that I hear some of my friends -- not the chairman of the subcommittee, but some of my friends on the floor -- talking about the need for other programs. I notice they also cut those programs. I find it somewhat interesting the talk about this could pay for x amount of Pell grants or y amount of this. I notice from their records they do not vote for the Pell grants, they do not vote for the other things.

We have been hearing for about a year now -- including the last few weeks during debate on the welfare reform bill -- that we need to return power to States and local communities. That the Federal bureaucracy needs to get out of the way of local solutions to problems, that we need to make better use of nonprofit community organizations and church groups in addressing the problems this country faces. And that individuals helping each other, not the paternalism of big government, is the ultimate answer to our problems.

Tammy is a single parent who used to be on welfare. Today, Tammy is an AmeriCorps member who helps teenage mothers do what she did -- move from welfare to work. Tammy says, "AmeriCorps gave me my voice back." Dora is another woman supporting her two children. After leaving the military, she took a job waiting tables. But, this past year, she spent working for AmeriCorps, helping elderly public house residents get preventive health care.

Dora will be using her tuition voucher to go back to school, something she admits she never would have done without AmeriCorps. As she put it, "AmeriCorps gave me direction." Jeff was a Maryland AmeriCorps member, but he did his service by tutoring at-risk elementary school children in the Colonial School District in Delaware. For many of the boys, Jeff was their only male role model.

But, what each of the examples I just gave proves is that the Federal Government can do at least a little bit about this country's values. The Federal Government can help teach young people that they owe something to their country and to each other, that membership conveys both rights and responsibilities.

That is, we are requiring service, and service is being rendered. A good analogy is our Nation's Armed Forces. We do not maintain Armed Forces in order to provide valuable skill and help develop good character in young men and women. Rather, Armed Forces personnel develop skills and character in the military as they carry out their primary mission for providing for our Nation's security.

The same is true of national service.

Mr. President, independent studies verified by the GAO found recently that AmeriCorps returns between $1.68 and $2.58 for every $1 invested. I think it is important that we continue this program. National service says to the participants, along with society's opportunities come duties. If you will provide your honest sweat and elbow grease to improve society, we will help you attend college or acquire a skill.

As my colleagues know, the idea of national service is one in which I have been involved for several years. In 1989, I introduced with Senator Robb, Glenn, Breaux, and Sasser introduced legislation to demonstrate the concept of national service in a small number of programs nationwide. President Bush signed that legislation into law in 1990, and the effort yielded a number of highly-successful demonstration programs, including two in my State. In 1993, Congress passed President Clinton's National and Community Service Act to create thousands of young people serving their communities. While the scope of AmeriCorps is much larger than our original demonstration project, the philosophy behind it, supported by Democrats and Republicans, is the same -- make plain the essential connection between rights and responsibility by putting Americans to work meeting the unmet needs in their communities.

At present this Congress is involved in a great debate over how to reverse the fraying of our Nation's moral fabric. The question which confronts us is how to stop the rising tide of crime, illegitimacy, falling test scores, and rising despair that plague our communities. I do not pretend that funding national service is the answer to all of these problems. What I can say with great conviction, however, is that national service is one of the few Government enterprises with the potential to inspire large numbers of young people against this tide.

In Georgia, success stories are not hard to find. In my State, AmeriCorps members alone have contributed more than 300,000 hours of service, and served more than 19,000 individuals. In addition to their required service, AmeriCorps members have volunteered 7,500 hours to community-wide philanthropic efforts and traditional volunteer programs. They have also recruited more than 2,500 community volunteers to help in their community service efforts. Members are working with the Macon police department to patrol communities and establish neighborhood watch programs. In Douglas, members are helping to erect road signs to ensure that emergency crews can respond quickly to calls on the newly-installed 911 telephone system. In Atlanta, members mentor and tutor low-achieving students in schools and recruit volunteers for further community service efforts. In Atlanta, the principal of Ralph McGill school in a low-income area of Atlanta informed me on a visit that since AmeriCorps young people started working as teacher's aides discipline problems have declined at his school by 70 percent. This list of accomplishments is mirrored in virtually every State in this Nation.

Critics have tried to attack national service in a number of different ways. With the recent release of the GAO report on the costs of national service we have heard cries of how expensive the program is. I would caution the program's critics to examine the benefits of the program as well as its costs before issuing such casual independent studies. The GAO study often quoted by critics found that AmeriCorps' per-member costs to the Federal Government are in fact lower than the estimates the Corporation set for itself. In addition, the benefits generated by the program, as reported by an independent accounting agency and verified by GAO, have yielded excellent ratings for cost- effectiveness. Most importantly, however, the program receives high marks from the beneficiaries of the service, like the teacher of Ralph McGill school, who is better able to teach his students through AmeriCorps' efforts. In this way AmeriCorps is living up to its slogan, "Getting Things Done." I hope that the program's critics, many of whom were singing the praises of cost-benefit analysis on this floor in a different debate on regulatory reform just a few weeks ago, will practice that preaching for this program as well.

Our Nation's Armed Forces provide another good historical analogy to national service -- the GI bill. This program, which began in the mid- 1940's as an effort to provide an education to those who fought for our Nation's survival in World War II, has been judged one of the most successful investments of public funds in our history. The program continues today as the Montgomery GI bill. The GI bill gives the participants an education benefit in exchange for their great service to this country. Like the GI bill, national service provides a triple payoff in terms of the service performed, the service experience, and the post-service benefit. Do my colleagues who criticize national service believe that the GI bill was a mistake? Here, Mr. President, is a program that has just as much potential to help our society.

Finally, Mr. President, I would point out that since its initial authorization in 1993, AmeriCorps has had only one full year of operation. As with any newly created enterprise, there are growing pains of varying degrees, and I am the first to express my willingness to search for ways to make the program more effective. The time for such debate and change, however, is during the program's scheduled reauthorization next year. That way we can have a systematic, rational consideration of whether this program has provided sufficient "bang" for the Government's buck, and whether structural changes are needed. To kill this program in this appropriations bill would be a costly mistake.

Mr. President, as our distinguished colleague Senator Byrd often points out, one of our primary duties as Senators is to exercise the "power of the purse" and be good stewards of the taxpayer's dollar. I have been watching AmeriCorps' work in my State, and I am pleased to inform my colleagues that AmeriCorps is achieving its goals. This is an innovative, nonbureaucratic, decentralized approach to one of our Nation's most important tasks -- creating citizens who understand that responsibilities accompany rights and who provide real services to individuals and communities. I urge my colleagues to look at the benefits as well as the costs of this program, and to support the Mikulski amendment.

My definition from looking in the dictionary, voluntarism is unpaid labor. This is paid labor. That is not voluntarism. You can call it a lot of things, but not voluntarism, any more than me deciding to run for the U.S. Senate and therefore being elected, being a volunteer because that is what I decided I wanted to do.

Those are all noble jobs. They are providing valuable services to this country.

I would also add, having just been very actively involved in the welfare debate over the past few weeks, that there are a lot of people who are very strong supporters of AmeriCorps who are not supporters of requiring people on welfare to work. I find that incredible. Here we have people who desperately need work. You talk to employers. What do employers tell you they are looking for an employee? Are they looking for someone who has a lot of skills, someone who is exceptional in a particular area? No. What most employers look for in employees is someone with a good attitude and good work ethic. What people on welfare in most cases do not have as a result of having grown up on welfare -- I am talking about the chronic welfare recipient -- is instilled a good work ethic.

What we could provide instead of paying volunteers in AmeriCorps is we could be putting the people who are on welfare who need jobs the same things AmeriCorps people are doing. Remember, people on welfare are receiving the money. They are already getting the benefits. It does not cost any addition and gives the people who really need the work, not someone whose daddy is a CEO of some company who signed up for AmeriCorps because he wants to do the good thing and be a volunteer and get $27,000 a year, but someone who actually needs the work experience, needs to learn the skills.

Before I begin, I would like to thank my colleague and my good friend, Senator Bond, for his management of this bill as well as his unending commitment to the taxpayers of Missouri. His opposition to the Corporation for National Service is another example of the fiscal integrity that has marked his career in the Senate, and I am honored to join him here.

John Ashcroft

Americans constitute a community of service. Last year 90 million Americans of all ages gave their time to civic and religious organizations. They cared for the poor, sick, the broken, and the lonely. They gave their time without regard to benefit or pay. They did it as a matter of personal devotion and out of their regard for each other as part of the way we live our lives as Americans. Their personal sacrifice is, in my opinion, mocked by a Government program with a catchy name like AmeriCorps.

Mr. President, we have for most of this Congress been debating Washington's legitimate role in our daily lives. Some cases are tough, tough debates -- debates on welfare, crime, and education. Others are not. This is not a tough case. AmeriCorps is a $27,000 per participant boondoggle for kids trying to find themselves. AmeriCorps is welfare for the well-to-do.

Mr. President, for what AmeriCorps costs annually we could send two poor students to the University of Missouri for 4 years, all expenses paid, for everyone person we send through AmeriCorps. We could give 18 Pell grants to needy students for the annual cost of one AmeriCorps participant.

AmeriCorps is wasteful and bureaucratic. At least $15,000 per AmeriCorps participant goes into overhead and administration here in Washington. Only in Washington could $15,000 a year be paid for paper turning, and as a result that would be considered volunteer service.

Of the AmeriCorps participants, 1,200 serve -- volunteer -- at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; 525 volunteer at the Interior Department; and 60 serve at the National Endowment for the Arts. This is not in the spirit of volunteering. This is not in the spirit of service that we normally find for American communities.

I rise to oppose this because I believe that a volunteer program should be a volunteer program. It should not be a way to subsidies the Federal bureaucracy and send individuals into the bureaucracy at rates of pay that deprive other needy programs, that displace the ability to meet other needs in our culture.

So I am pleased to support my senior Senator's motion which would defund or otherwise take AmeriCorps out, because I do not believe we should be spending money at this level in an enterprise which masquerades as a volunteer program but is a very expensive program.

This is not about paid service at all. Service in Minnesota is about citizenship, to be part of a community, stepping forward to serve. These people are not getting rich by any means. The participants are making $4.50 an hour. This is essentially minimum wage.

Every program in Minnesota is in a partnership with either a State and/or private partners. All these new partnerships were spurred by this program. It has leveraged a lot of private funds.

Community service programs in Minnesota and across the Nation have offended hundreds of thousands of young people the opportunity to learn while serving their communities. Community service programs have provided important and necessary services to communities all over the country. Programs have empowered students to improve conditions in their own communities by encouraging them to become a part of their community.

Service-learning programs have taught young people about the skills of citizenships, responsibility, and democracy while teaching them math, science, civics, English, history at the same time. Students through these wonderful programs have had their eyes opened to new opportunities and to diversity and multiculturalism in society. They have taught people how to utilize community resources to improve their lives.

Mr. President, I find the description of this program as kids trying to find out who they are insulting. I do not even recognize the program my colleagues are describing. In Minnesota, AmeriCorps is really an exceptional program. It is quite a wonderful thing to see the work done in a child care center, the work done in the environment, the work done for senior citizens, the work done for communities, combined with a whole lot of young people who are able then to begin to build the resources to attend higher education. Mr. President, I would call this a marriage. It is well worth it. It is the very best in this country.

As to deficit reduction, why do we not cut the subsidies for the oil companies, the coal companies, the tobacco companies and the pharmaceutical companies? Why do not we go after the military contractors, and what do we do when there is a $245 billion tax giveaway mainly to wealthy people? But instead, when it comes to community services, young people and higher education, and that kind of marriage, that is where we want to cut.

National service is basically paying volunteers. I find that to be a little bit of an oxymoron -- paid volunteers. We have thousands, we have millions of volunteers who are doing great work, and they do it without the Federal Government saying, "Here, we are going to give you a check." Many of us stated our opposition to this program at its inception because we said it would cost enormous sums. I looked at my notes, and I was computing, given the figures that we received from the Clinton administration, and estimated this program would cost $22,000. I remember debating Mr. Segal, and he said it would not cost that much; the cost would be something like $17,000 or $18,000. According to GAO, the cost is almost $27,000. I was talking about total cost, the cost to the Federal Government, the cost to State and local governments, and private.

It turns out to be, if you add the total cost, $17,000 from the AmeriCorps; other Federal support, $3,000; State and local contributions, governments, $4,000; and private, $1,800. So the private supports only 7 percent.

They stated that this was going to be largely privately funded. It has not been. It is largely Government funded at a cost of $27,000.

Mr. President, some people said, "Well, this is good so it will help people be educated." The average cost of a Pell grant is $1,300. It is about one-eighteenth the size of this program. And that is a grant. The average cost of a student loan is $416. That compares to this program's average cost of $27,000. There is no comparison.

Mr. President, in my opinion, this program is a failure as an education tool. It is a failure as a tool promoting service or volunteers. We do not need the Federal Government to micromanage a program. We see that all the Federal Departments -- the Veterans Department, EPA, Department of Transportation, Labor, Justice, Interior -- are receiving assistance and funds to train volunteers. We do not need that.

Actually, we have millions; we have 9 million students that benefited under the guaranteed student loan program or the Pell grant program. We can help millions in those programs, and we have been doing so. We are wasting millions of dollars under this program. It is a time to defund it, and I hope that this amendment by our friend from Maryland will be defeated. I thank my colleague from Missouri.

Mr. President, we have heard I think some compelling arguments against the AmeriCorps Program. I think in this vote it is important for our colleagues to focus on the fact that everybody agrees this program is vitally in need of reform. This program has to be changed. There have been too many problems with it. Even if you accept the fact that paying for volunteers is a good idea, I think that taking the money from assisted housing or those who badly need assisted housing is unwarranted. I think that raising the FHA mortgage limits is an idea that should be left to the authorizing committees.

Mr. President, I know I have 3 minutes for summing up. Let me just say this. There is much to be said in favor of national service and much criticism in terms I think of the need for a tighter ship. I think we would agree with the need for a tighter ship.

Let me just say in conclusion, my life has been devoted to creating an opportunity structure. I am absolutely committed to giving help to those who practice self-help. My great grandmother came to this country from Poland for a prearranged marriage with $16 and a feather bed mattress. She came with no guarantees. She came seeking opportunities. And she came because she believed in the United States of America there would be access to something called the American dream. The triad of the American dream was homeownership, access to education, and personal freedom.

We use the term "volunteer" to mean that they are not drafted or coerced into it. Perhaps that is not the right language, but it is the right intent.

The important part of this is that we know for most Americans their access to higher education is closing. Student debt is increasing. What this bill essentially does is follow the framework of a principle I believe in, that if you are middle class the role of Government is to try to help you stay there or do better and, if you are not middle class, to be able to get there through hard work, effort, and merit.

What we face here is not should we or should we not support national service. We have a very skimpy budget allocation. I know that there are those who say, "Well, we can do Pell grants; we can do four more housing subsidies." The fact is, I believe under the skimpy allocations we are now coping with there will not be the money to do these things. I hope we continue the support of national service.

I could not agree more strongly with the goals and the views expressed by my ranking member about the American dream. But I do not believe it involves AmeriCorps or paid Federal Government volunteer service. I am very much concerned, and I think all my colleagues should be. I hope they would vote against this amendment, even if they support the concept of AmeriCorps, because it takes money from housing assistance, from the elderly, the disabled, those with AIDS, and it raises the FHA mortgage limit.
