                      RECOGNIZING MR. ALEX GORSKY

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 12, 2014

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize Mr. 
Alex Gorsky for his dedication and leadership to CADCA, Community Anti-
Drug Coalitions of America. CADCA has honored Mr. Gorsky with the 
Humanitarian of the Year Award for his advocacy on behalf of CADCA's 
Drug-Free Kids Campaign.
  Mr. Gorsky's efforts with CADCA have had a profound impact on drug 
abuse prevention efforts in my district. Bucks Promise for Youth and 
Communities is comprised of a number of Drug Free Communities whose 
outstanding work to combat the rise of teen drug abuse in our community 
was recognized last year by CADCA. One of the success stories from the 
district is the Prescription Drug Take Back Program which has captured 
more than 19 tons of unused medication since the program began just 4 
years ago. The potential for these drugs to harm, addict, and take 
lives has been extinguished due to the vision and commitment of 
individuals like Alex Gorsky.
  On behalf of the constituents of the Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional 
District, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude and 
appreciation to Alex for his unrelenting support for CADCA's mission--
building safe, healthy and drug-free communities around the country and 
in my home state of Pennsylvania.
