![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas has proposed bills to re-establish a Civilian Conservation Corps with an enrollment of between 150,000 and 200,000 young men. The Corps would provide valuable work and educational experiences while also addressing the issue of youth unemployment. The program would be voluntary, last one to two years, and provide a monthly pay of $60 plus benefits. The estimated cost of the program is $400 million a year, but Representative Douglas believes it will yield significant returns in terms of human and natural resources. The Corps would be non-military and overseen by a Commission consisting of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0028_thumbnail.jpg "The United Nations Action in Korea: A Decisive Day in World History")
