                                 ______


                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 10, 1994

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, from February 14 through February 25, the 
Toledo Council of Parent-Teacher Associations and Toledo Public Schools 
will sponsor jointly the Seventh Annual Drug Free Schools Week. I would 
like to take this opportunity to thank all of these dedicated adults 
for their ongoing efforts to educate the young people of our community 
on the evils of drug and alcohol abuse.
  We all know there is no better way to stop drug and alcohol abuse 
among our Nation's children than the love and guidance of concerned 
adults. The parents and teachers in our community, who devote so much 
of their time to ridding our community of drugs and alcohol and the 
negative social consequences that accompany their use, deserve our 
gratitude. Combating and preventing drug and alcohol abuse is one of 
the most difficult yet important challenges facing our country.
  I believe that it is essential for communities to organize within 
themselves to find solutions to the drug epidemic. I commend the Toledo 
Parent-Teachers Associations and Toledo Public Schools for their 
dedication to this challenge. Our future depends on it.
