    RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF ``NO FEAR NO FUTURE'' PROGRAM IN 
                             LAFAYETTE, LA

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 15, 2005

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the importance 
of NO FEAR NO FUTURE: A Campaign Against Drinking and Driving. This 
very worthwhile program is sponsored by the Junior League of Lafayette, 
LA and is being presented today and tomorrow to the very distinguished 
students of Acadiana High School.
  The purpose of this program is to promote responsible decisionmaking 
by high school students regarding drinking and driving. The program 
demonstrates how irresponsible decisions can end all dreams for both 
those who choose to drink and drive and those who end up being the 
innocent victims of those drivers. Too many families have been 
shattered because of irresponsibility, and it is my hope that this 
program can change the mindset of our young people and save lives.
  I applaud the Junior League of Lafayette for taking an interest in 
bettering the lives of our future generations, and I applaud the 
students of Acadiana High School for taking it upon themselves to 
guarantee that their friends and classmates do not become a statistic. 
There are choices that every student will be faced with. My hope is 
that through this campaign, the bright students of Acadiana High School 
and of all schools throughout the 7th District, realize that drinking 
and driving is never an option. NO FEAR really does mean NO FUTURE.
