                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 22, 2007

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, today, the Woodcliff Lake 
Police Department will hold its D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony with the 
students of Dorchester School. More than 100 students are participating 
in this important program that gives young people the support they need 
to say no to drugs, underage drinking, and gang violence.
  Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or D.A.R.E., began as a small 
program in Los Angeles in 1983. Today, it is implemented in more than 
75 percent of our Nation's school districts and in more than 43 other 
nations. It uses positive peer pressure to help children defeat the 
negative cultural influences that bombard them daily.
  I am proud of the young boys and girls who participated in this 
program in Woodcliff Lake, and I would like to recognize them all for 
taking this step toward positive citizenship:
