98 STAT. 121

Public Law 98-252 98th Congress Joint Resolution Designating the month of June 1984 as "Student Awareness of Drunk Driving Month".

Whereas alcohol-related traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans fifteen to twenty-four years old; Whereas the death rate for such age group is higher than it was twenty years ago, due in large measure to an increase in alcoholrelated traffic fatalities; Whereas various student organizations have been established throughout the country in order to increase student awareness of the tragic consequences of driving while under the influence of alcohol; and Whereas it is appropriate for the Congress to recognize the efforts of such organizations and to emphasize the need for all levels of government to join the effort to combat the problem of drunk driving, particularly as such problem affects students: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the month of June 1984 is hereby designated as "Student Awareness of Drunk Driving Month", and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon students, parents, teachers, and others to observe such month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Approved April 6, 1984.
