Witnesses included the following: U.S. senators; school teachers, administrators, and students; Clinton Administration officials, and representatives of labor organizations, volunteer programs, cities, and colleges. Many of the witnesses supported the idea of a national service corporation. Some witnesses related how volunteers were working in their communities and what a difference they made. They also explained how the various volunteer programs worked. Other witnesses were concerned that such a volunteer program would be tooexpensive, would grow too quickly and spawn increased government bureaucracy, and would be rife with waste and fraud.
