- Description:
- Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas of California supports the establishment of a Civilian Conservation Corps to provide work and educational experiences for unemployed youth. She highlights the benefits of such a program in improving physical resources and addressing conservation needs. The proposed legislation has been carefully crafted to ensure it complements existing conservation efforts and does not take away jobs from others. Douglas emphasizes the importance of addressing unemployment and conservation needs, arguing that delaying the establishment of a C.C.C. would be shortsighted.
