Leader reviews ACTION change

Americans have a mandate and a moral obligation to share their resources and skills with other people, John Lewis is on the list. IN ACTION, a federal volunteer agency, said yesterday.
Lewis, who is also a civil rights activist, in an interview yesterday, reflected on some of the changes the agency had undergone in the last decade and also talked about his ideas for its revitalization. He began this week to recruit a Social Awareness month for Volunteers in Service to America and the Peace Corps.
Lewis said that ACTION, which serves as an umbrella agency for federal volunteer agencies, such as VISTA and the Peace Corps, was created minutes of the President Richard Kot but was in the process of being phased out by former President Gerald Ford.
FORTUNATELY FOR ACTION, LEWIS said. Ford was not elected in 1978, and today the agency enjoys the complete freedom to operate and his mother Lillian, a former Peace Corps volunteer.
Lewis said the movement for social change which engulfed the country during the sixties also had a profound effect on organizations that joined voluntary service organizations.
"There was a sense of hope and optimism." he said. "But that hope was arrested when we over-extended ourselves with the Vietnam War."
As a result of Vietnam, Lewis said, the Peace Corps was asked to leave Tanzania but recently was invited to return to that country.
The average volunteer, Lewis said, is 26 years old and has a college background in the areas of mass science, health, agriculture or skilled trades.

Lewis said although there were more than 280 volunteers over the age of 60 already participating in various programs, many were underage, and minority members were being recruited.
LEWIS, WHOSE involvement with the early civil rights movement included organizing student sit-ins, being a member of the movement in Georgia, and being wary of South to help the civil rights movement, and being a national chairman for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee said in a statement occurring in America as a result of the civil rights movement.

DALLAS (UPI) - Texaco Inc. has received a stiff fine of $228,700 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for alleged safety violations at a Port Arthur, Texas, refinery which was 1977 through 2014, the federal agency announced yesterday.
Texaco incurs violations fine
OSHA already had levied funds of $71,000 against Texaco for two fires which occurred at the refinery last March. The oil company is appealing that penalty.
"We have not had time to study the new citations and cannot comment at this time," a Texaco spokesman said in Port Arthur. "We are very disappointed." Quartz reporters said it was preparing a response.
