Answering President Obama's call for increased volunteer opportunities, Chairman Miller will be introducing the GIVE Act today. Jonathon Alter's Newsweek story provides excellent background about this bill.
In addition to Mr. Alter's story, ABC has a short story to accompany a two-minute video on Good Morning America this morning.
On Monday, Miller will announce that the GIVE Act (don't ask what the acronym means; too clunky) is on its way to passage by the House. Because representatives of the House, Senate and White House have been working together on a bipartisan basis for weeks, the skids are now greased for quick Senate passage of the Kennedy-Hatch Act for national service, the only specific piece of legislation the president mentioned in his address to Congress last month. Differences between the House and Senate versions will be minor.
