An timely message from COOL's friends at the National & Community Service
Coalition.
>FYI
>
>President Clinton will reportedly focus on national and community service and
>the results of the Presidents' Summit on America's Future in his weekly radio
>address on Saturday morning. He may also provide the opening for
>consideration of legislation reauthorizing national service laws as an
>important part of his agenda for the second session of the 105th Congress,
>scheduled to reconvene on January 27, 1998. The President's comments may
>include a new call to arms for national service participants and volunteers
>in addressing the child care problem which is likely to be a major focus of
>the President's State of the Union Address to be delivered on January 27th,
>as well.
>
>While it is not clear whether the President will unveil the administration's
>specific proposal for reauthorization legislation, the President will likely
>commit to sending his legislative package to Congress on the first day of the
>new session.
>
>The timing of the President's radio address and its focus on national and
>community service comes three days before a scheduled "Report to the Nation"
>to be offered by General Powell on Tuesday, November 25 at 1:00 p.m. from
>Washington D.C.'s Hine Junior High School, at which point the leader of
>America's Promise will share news of the results flowing from the April
>Summit and mini-summits which have convened since April. General Powell will
>likely also go into details of the various commitments made by business,
>industry, nonprofits, communities, and individuals.
>
>The Coalition will report on further details as they become available,
>including a recap of both President Clinton's radio address and General
>Powell's Report to the Nation.
