                         Friday, April 1, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hillary Morris, 
Diana Kelly and Brittany Harlan for their work to prevent drinking and 
drug use in Colorado schools. These three women are responsible for 
programs designed to teach local students about the dangers of 
substance abuse.
  Their efforts have recently been honored by the Rio Grande Prevention 
Partners, a group that works towards spreading information about the 
negative effects of alcohol and drugs. Ms. Harlan has been the student 
intern for the group since June of 2009. She was instrumental in 
creating the Youth Engagement Plan while also participating in a number 
of other extracurricular activities.
  Ms. Kelly is the Creede Middle and High School sponsor for Students 
Against Destructive Decisions, a national group with similar 
aspirations to that of the RGPP. She helped guide the group's local 
efforts in Colorado over the last year. Ms. Morris, a student of Creede 
High School, is also very involved with SADD. She has organized events 
and activities for the group this past year.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize these three women for their work 
in preventing drug and alcohol use among Colorado students. The 
initiative they have taken in their communities is exemplary and I have 
no doubt they will continue to be leaders in preventing substance 
abuse.
