Because many of the statutory rules relating to persons regularly employed in Government agencies would be inappropriate or irrelevant to this type of temporary volunteer service. this subsection. patterned after the Peace Corps Act. provides that corpsmen are not to be deemed to be officers or employees of the United States for any purpose except as provided in the bill. Section 5(b) provides that whenever the President determines that it is in the national Interest. he may. under such terms and conditions as he may deem appropriate. enroll qualified foreign nationals in the Corps for service in the United States. It is intended that the authority granted in this subsection would be sparingly used to permit the enrollment. for example. of Cuban nationals resident in the United States for service on a project serving the needs of Cuban refugees or of Mexican nationals for service on a project serving the needs of migrant workers and their families. Section 5(c) is similar. to the comparable subsection in the Peace Corps Act and provides that corpsmen shall be furnished with such living. travel. and leave allowances and such housing. transportation. supplies. equipment. subsistence. and clothing as the President determines to be necessary for their maintenance and to insure health and effectiveness. It is intended that. as nearly as practicable. the corpsmen will live on the same level as their counterparts in the host community.
