PROC. NO. 6662. TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS OF ACTION AGENCY TO

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

Proc. No. 6662, Apr. 4, 1994, 59 F.R. 16507, provided:

On September 21, 1993, I had the honor of signing into law the

National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 [Pub. L. 103-82,

see Tables for classification], which created the Corporation for

National and Community Service. The Corporation was designed to

involve Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community projects

to address many of our Nation's most important needs - from

educating our children to ensuring public safety to protecting our

environment. It was chartered to foster civic responsibility,

strengthening the ties that bind us together as a people, while

providing educational opportunity for those who make the commitment

to serve.

In the few short months since the Corporation's establishment,

enormous progress has been made toward the achievement of these

invaluable goals. Final regulations have been published governing

the Corporation's new grant programs, grant application packages

have been developed, and a national recruitment effort has begun.

As a result of intensive outreach efforts, most states have already

established State Commissions on National and Community Service,

and many local programs, national nonprofit organizations,

institutions of higher education, and Federal agencies are eager to

participate. Grant competitions have begun for a summer program

that will focus on our Nation's public safety concerns, and all

community service grant competitions will be completed by this

summer. Finally, the Corporation has established the National

Civilian Community Corps, which will take advantage of closed and

down-sized military bases to launch environmental clean-up and

preservation efforts.

The ACTION Agency, provided for by the Domestic Volunteer Service

Act of 1973 [42 U.S.C. 4950 et seq.], has worked closely with the

Corporation, sharing its many years of experience in engaging

Americans in service to their communities. Because the

Corporation's initiatives and those programs operated by the ACTION

Agency involve similar goals, the National and Community Service

Trust Act calls for the merger of ACTION with the Corporation no

later than March 22, 1995. To build upon the tremendous

accomplishments already achieved by the Corporation, and to

facilitate the further development of community service programs

across the country, I am pleased to order that the functions of the

Director of the ACTION Agency be transferred to the Corporation for

National and Community Service.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United

States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,

including but not limited to sections 203(c)(2) and (d)(1)(B) of

the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 [set out

above], proclaim that all functions of the Director of the ACTION

Agency are hereby transferred to the Corporation for National and

Community Service, effective April 4, 1994.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day

of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four,

and of the Independence of the United States of America the two

hundred and eighteenth.

William J. Clinton.
