As we sat down with Peace Corps Director Ron Tschetter in his office on the 8th floor of Peace Corps Headquarters on December 4, we talked to the director about his tenure since 2006 and he freely shared his point of view on the vital issues facing the Peace Corps today. As a new administration prepares to come into office, read Director Tschetter's thoughts on the evacuation from Bolivia, the independence of the Peace Corps, the five year rule, political appointees at Peace Corps headquarters, the Peace Corps Foundation, the third goal, the effect of the internet on the Peace Corps, how the transition is going, and what the prospects are for doubling the size of the Peace Corps by 2011. Read the complete interview and you are sure to learn something about the Peace Corps you didn't know before.

My only concern now, is with the cutback in Peace Corps Budget, the progress that was made in Security areas for PCV's is being reduced. It is my understanding that the Peace Corps Inspector General's office has stopped investigating crimes against PCV's and that staffing for investigators has be cut. Any comment by Peace Corps?
