Veterans push for revived CCC style service program
Corps members recall the Civilian Conservation Corps and urge a new national service model. Mielke cites 2,700 CCC camps and 500,000 enrollees by 1935, envisioning 2,000 camps with 200 youths each under military leadership. He contrasts with Clinton’s plan targeting college students. About 1,400 Summer of Service volunteers work eight weeks on a prototype for a 7.4 billion program aiming for 150,000 by 1997.
