The Senate of the United States recognizes and commends the hard work and dedication of concerned parents, educators, business leaders, private sector organizations, and government leaders and urges them to continue their tenacious efforts. The Senate urges these groups to sponsor town meetings, conferences, and fundraising activities that support community drug and alcohol education and to observe "Drug Free America Week" with other appropriate activities, events, and educational campaigns. SEC. 2. Every American is encouraged to wear red during the "Drug Free America Week" to symbolize their commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Approved September 29, 1988.
