PROCLAMATION 7965—NOV. 22, 2005

Family is one of the three cornerstones of the Helping America’s Youth initiative, led by First Lady Laura Bush. We are working with families, schools, and communities to help children make right choices and build healthy, successful lives. Through USA Freedom Corps, my Administration is also providing opportunities for families to volunteer together and make a positive difference in their communities. At this crucial hour in the history of freedom, our Nation is grateful for the sacrifice of our military families who love and support the men and women of our Armed Forces. My Administration is committed to providing a better quality of life for our military families and helping them plan for the future. During National Family Week and throughout the year, Americans stand solidly behind the men and women of our Armed Forces and join all military families as they pray for the safety and strength of their sons and daughters, husbands and wives, and fathers and mothers. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 20 through November 26, 2005, as National Family Week. I invite the States, communities, and all the people of the United States to join together in observing this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities to honor our Nation’s families. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH

Last year alone, drunk driving killed more than 16,000 people and accounted for more than 30 percent of all motor vehicle deaths. My Administration remains committed to saving lives and preventing injuries resulting from drunk and drugged driving. The Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration oversees the ‘‘You Drink & Drive. You Lose.’’; program, which educates our citizens about the dangers of driving under the influence. This campaign also encourages lifesaving measures to help keep impaired driv-
