hearings relates to the Job Corps program. Accordingly, Mr. Chairman, we

would like to summarize for you the results of our review of that program

and then respond to any questions you or other members of the Subcommittee

may have.

young men and women to become more responsible, employable, and productive

citizens by providing them with education, vocational training, work expe-

rience, and othe. a ±sLance. Youths aged 14 through 21 are eligible to
