            HONORING BUCKS PROMISE FOR YOUTH AND COMMUNITIES

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding efforts of an organization in my district in Pennsylvania, 
Bucks Promise for Youth and Communities. This group is being honored 
February 7 by the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America, which is 
the Nation's leading substance abuse prevention organization, 
representing over 5,000 community anti-drug coalitions across the 
country.
  Bucks Promise for Youth and Communities will be receiving the Dose of 
Prevention Award, an esteemed award which acknowledges community-based 
organizations that have taken the initiative to raise awareness of the 
dangers of prescription drug abuse and over-the-counter cough medicine 
abuse.
  Bucks Promise for Youth and Communities consists of individuals who 
truly exemplify leadership and ingenuity. They have made tremendous 
strides in educating my district on the dangers of medicine abuse 
through take-back events and townhall-style community discussions. I 
congratulate them and applaud the continuous efforts to bring this 
crucial issue to the forefront of our community.
