Recommend that the President issue a memorandum to all agency heads encouraging them to support volunteer community service among their employees. President Bush issued a similar Executive Order (13401) in 2006 - http://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayEO.cfm?id=EO_13401_.
Even though the President signed the Serve America Act and supports volunteer community service, he has never issued a directive to Federal agencies to follow his example. EO 13401 provides a good template for this new Presidential Memorandum. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) could serve at the proponent for this initiative. Annual reports of volunteer service will hold agencies accountable for encouraging volunteer community service.
