corps in those days. jamaica, i served directly with disadvantaged youth. i worked with a small local n.g.o. on grant writing, strategic planning, communications, and it was in jamaica after my service with peace corps, which is where i got my first job with u.s. aid, which really pointed me toward the career path i'm on today. so looking back when i first was a peace corps volunteer, fast forward a few decades, the peace corps director when i was a volunteer in bulgaria is now not only my c.s.i.s. colleague, but happens to work in the office adjacent to mine. it is an honor for me to introduce you all to him. his name is mark schneider, sitting here in the front row. he is currently the senior adviser to the c.s.i.s. americas program and the c.s.i.s. human rights initiative. in this role, he helps to remind us of the importance that good governance plays and how critical that is to the progress of development and u.s. investments in development. his experience includes working as, of course, the director

, americorps, teach for america, service year, senior corps. but also include programs that are state or locally based. volunteer programs that may include serving in a local food pantry or homeless shelter. and then public service was defined as employment in local, state, federal or tribal government or seeking elected office. so over the course of the last year, the commission has conducted extensive research. we've traveled across the country to all nine census districts, 15 states, 24 cities, met with over 300 different organizations, and learned about ways to encourage and inspire more americans to serve. we met with elected officials, government employees, academic experts, military leaders, rank and file service members, members of the faith-based communities and business and nonprofit leaders. we met with many inspiring people who have shown a passion for service. like rebecca, who at 17 was preparing for college in the fall. when she heard the words, there are 20,000 americans helping people, solving problems and in the process earnin

i can't remember the last time i saw a peace corps commercial on tv. we met with debts going through rotc surprisingly the majority we met with had no idea about rotc until getting to college. no one talked to them about it in high school. no one told them about the opportunity to get a paid education and serve in the military while still in high school. so we have to increase awareness. we have to expand opportunities. and we have to encourage participation. any final questions? yes. >> thanks. where can people -- if they can't come to a listening session, can people go online to voice their thoughts on these issue sns. >> yes, we are collecting public comments via our website which is inspire to serve.gov. inspire the numeral 2.gov. and taking public comment on our hearing tour. we kind of conducted listening tour, townhall sessions over the last year in the coming year we will actually hold formal public hearing in which we vet some of the public policy recommendations and hear from policy experts. but we will also reserve a portion of that time to

chairman, with navy, marine corps and dod. i'm happy to report there's progress being made on those recommendations. we see actions being taken. we have a close that many of them, but we were closely with the navy and progress and i'm encouraged by what i see. make no mistake that will take significant time to rebuild the readiness of the ship, simmering in aviation. >> thank you for the forthright testimony we need to heed. secretary spencer, we are entering a time of divided government in this congress. will soon have the republican senate and a democratically controlled house and we're going to have to join hands as americans can give you the resources and the people you represent what you need. it has not been repealed and it should be allowed to take effect. it would put us back in sequestration. an unthinkable result, and utterly irresponsible but i'm sure the republican senate and the upcoming democrat house will avoid. i remember a previous secretary of the navy, secretary made this probably means they have no continge

there is plenty to discuss navy and marine corps readiness. i will focus my remarks on the readiness of the navy surface ships. this february, senator john mccain and i introduced legislation to help the navy restore its surface force readiness. the enhancement act of 2018 thought to address some of the root causes of declining readiness which were outlined in the secretary of the navy's strategic readiness review, and a comprehensive review. in the aftermath of the tragic uss fitzgerald and uss john s. mccain collisions in which 17 sailors lost their lives, our commanders and sailors call for meaningful reform. maybe accountability office reviews cited overextended and undermanned ships, overworked crews, a decline in naval mastery, and confusing chains of command. as contribute factors to the navy's readiness problems. although i have confidence in the navy's leadership, i believe congress must play an active role in ensuring the right long-term corrective actions are successfully implement. act which. mccain president trump signed into law

stephen: he would tap into most likely army corps of engineers funds. they would have to feigned that money from within their existing appropriations, and then redirect that funding $5.7 billion, his current request, is going to be quite difficult. you heard the chairman say that some of the other things such as disaster relief that the army corps does is where that money would come from. there will almost certainly be legal challenges. you are essentially looking at another travel ban case in terms of a challenge to presidential powers, and the courts will grapple with those same issues of the president acting on behalf of the national security in what he will have declared as an emergency situation. folks i talk with, legal experts say this is perhaps a firmer case for the president than the travel ban, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out in court. it is a process that would take a long time, greater than 2020 when he is up for eelection. in the short term, there seems to be an assumption that government would quickly reopen and preside

the corps of engineers has spent $80 million studying it. that's ridiculous. it's caused billions of dollars of flood damages in the area, the project has not moved forward. we've got to make sure we're advancing these projects as quickly as we can, improving the resiliency of the communities. this makes the cdbg-r funds eligible if your community determine that's the highest and best value, the best investment of the funds and with that i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: members are reminded to refrain from referencing occupants in the gallery. does a member claim time in opposition? seeing none -- >> madam chair i ask unanimous consent to claim time in opposition even though i'm not actually opposed to the amendment. the chair: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> madam chair this amendment amends a section of the base funding. sets out the bill says cdbg funding should be used after they seek out fund from the army corps of engineers to meet any needs that remains. public law 25 limits cdbg funding to $105 million th

the peace corps director is here so we have to give out a shout out to the peace corps.ut what it has meant domestically and so our charge is to tap that demand. to shine a light on them and to also bring a clarity and to bring some recommendations to breaking down these barriers. i think americans would be heartened to know that more americans want to serve. i think they would be discouraged to know that we are not fully honoring all those young americans raising their hands wanting to make a difference. but the reality is we have to say no to those people who have raised their hands. >> and just a quick follow-up, what about the idea of national service that would be voluntary? that idea comes up every generation or so at least once. >> yeah we are looking at all of those questions and this is an interim report so this is, as the document will show across the spectrum. i would say, as our chair has referenced, when and conversations i've had on campuses and like when you put the word mandatory before anything, particularly young americans, it is not our best marketing
