       IN SUPPORT OF ROTARIANS AGAINST SUBSTANCE ABUSE FOUNDATION

                                 ______


                           HON. GEORGE MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 16, 1996

  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce 
today a House concurrent resolution to recognize the work of the 
Rotarians Against Substance Abuse Foundation, the First Presbyterian 
Church of Concord, CA, and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Contra 
Costa County, CA.
  These organizations came together in 1983 to promote the idea of 
engaging teenagers in positive activities and having fun without using 
alcohol and drugs. Through programs such as Friday Night Live, Club 
Live, and Rotary Life Club #1, teenagers participate in on-campus peer 
counseling, community services, Kidfest, and other fun and worthwhile 
activities. Today, with the success of these programs, this idea is 
being promoted all across our Nation and throughout the world.
  These organizations deserve our commendation for their concern for 
children's well-being, community service, private initiative, and 
international promotion. Their work in providing positive activities 
for teenagers deserves the recognition and support of this House.
  I urge my colleagues to support this important bill.
