                     TRIBUTE TO THE CITY OF CLAWSON

                                 ______


                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 18, 1995

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, from October 23-29, 1995, the city of 
Clawson, MI, will again hold a red ribbon celebration in its continuing 
effort to eliminate the illegal use of drugs in schools, homes, and 
places of work.
  This year's theme, ``Be Healthy and Drug Free,'' has been imprinted 
on the red ribbons which will be worn by adults and children as a 
symbol of their personal commitment to remaining drug free. At the end 
of the week. Clawson participants in the celebration will sign their 
ribbons and send them to Congress. I am honored to be the intended 
recipient of the Clawson ribbons again this year.
  The red ribbon celebration encourages the community to address drugs 
as a serious societal problem and especially to reinforce Clawson youth 
with the knowledge that their peers are drug free. The campaign, 
therefore, combats the pressure on school children to experiment with 
drugs, and demonstrates that illegal drug use is not tolerated by our 
society.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud the action of the city of Clawson to reduce 
illegal drug use in schools and in the workplace, and lend my full 
support to the red ribbon celebration.
