SENATE RESOLUTION 194--DESIGNATING ``NATIONAL KICK DRUGS OUT OF AMERICA 
                                 WEEK''

  Mrs. HUTCHISON submitted the following resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on the Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 194

       Whereas the overwhelming problems in our country resulting 
     from drug abuse are staggering;
       Whereas youth violence and gangs are serious problems in 
     America today;
       Whereas in inner-city and suburban schools drug and gang 
     related peer pressures are at an all time high;
       Whereas tragically, many young people today receive little 
     or no guidance or direction from family, role models, or 
     schools; and
       Whereas one method of helping fight the war on drugs and 
     youth violence is to support educational and motivational 
     programs aimed primarily at the youth of America that help 
     guide young people and support their decisions to reject 
     drugs and violence: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate designates the week of April 20 
     through April 26, 1998, as ``National Kick Drugs Out of 
     America Week''.
