Title 3--
The President
Proclamation 6760 of December 3, 1994
National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention
Month, 1994
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
All across the Nation, Americans are coming together in
an ever-expanding chorus of voices demanding an end to
drunk and drugged driving. Too many family members and
friends have already been lost. In recent years
numerous grassroots organizations have arisen
throughout the land and dedicated themselves to ending
this national tragedy. In big cities and small towns
across the country, students, parents, and concerned
citizens recognize that education and prevention are
the keys to saving lives. Naming a designated driver is
an idea embraced by millions of Americans, and many
schools now include drunk driving awareness programs as
part of their curricula.
Despite the tremendous efforts of both the private and
public sectors, drunk and drugged driving remains
America's number one danger on the highways. We must
redouble our efforts to teach all Americans that
alcohol and drugs--used alone or in combination--cause
loss of control and loss of judgment, and that under
these circumstances it is irresponsible and dangerous
to attempt to drive.
Countless caring people across the country have taken
on the daunting challenge of changing the way Americans
think about alcohol, drugs, and driving. They have
moved forward with an energy born of a deep personal
commitment to serving the common good. Thanks in great
part to their devotion and hard work, parents can feel
a little safer and a little more secure about their
children's future. This month, I ask each citizen to
work actively to make our roads and highways safer--for
the good of our children and for our Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United
States, do hereby proclaim December 1994 as ``National
Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month.'' I ask all
Americans to reaffirm that being drunk or drugged is
unacceptable and to intervene by stopping anyone
impaired by drugs or alcohol from getting behind the
wheel. I call upon public officials at all levels, as
well as interested citizens and groups, to observe this
month with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and
activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and
nineteenth.
