                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 24, 1997

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues in the 
House of Representatives to join me in honoring an exceptional group of 
young people participating in Youth to Youth/Pride Program in Lake 
Orion, MI.
  These dedicated students have been selected to represent the State of 
Michigan at the International Drug Free Conference in Bermuda, November 
12-16, 1997. I am very proud of these individuals for their efforts on 
behalf of drug and alcohol free youth. The honor of being chosen to 
participate in the conference in Bermuda is proof of the caliber of 
these young people.
  I am honored to represent this group in Congress. They have set an 
example worthy of praise, and one which I hope will be met by others 
who will pledge to do their part in our fight against drugs. With 
cooperation between teens and adults we can work to achieve our mutual 
goal of providing an environment where our children are strengthened in 
their resolve not to use drugs or alcohol.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to recognize the commitment of all 
the young people participating in Youth to Youth/Pride programs. They 
deserve both our gratitude and our support.
