Shriver describes the Peace Corps organization. He believes the organization is efficient, with a high field-worker-to-administrative-employee ratio. He further believes the flexible mission objectives and processes of each field worker means the Peace Corps is effective and not top-down micromanaged. While he is proud of the organization, he says there are not enough business people volunteers to be accountants, et cetera, to help the organization. Shriver calls for both the young and those older, singling out those in their 60s, to volunteer for the Corps. He says demand for the Peace Corps is higher than the available supply in a world that is otherwise antagonistic to American intervention.
