Key Questions: 1) On page 19, what is the response by the general public of the establishment of the Peace Corps? 2) On page 20, what is the international response to the Peace Corps?
This Newsweek article provides an historical report of the immediate response to the Peace Corps, both domestically and internationally. It shows that Pres. Kennedy correctly analyzed the responses to his speeches while on the campaign trail (Oct. 14, 1960, and Nov. 2, 1960). The article also details small problems the gov't had in getting this program activated: unpaid workers, no officially printed forms, questions about funding.
