1-1                          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 567
 1-2           WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas recognizes that
 1-3     illegal underage drinking has claimed the lives of too many young
 1-4     Texans and has severely impaired the well-being of countless others;
 1-5     and
 1-6           WHEREAS, Curbing violations due to driving while intoxicated
 1-7     and reducing the prevalence of underage drinking are two critical
 1-8     issues our Texas communities must address; the Shattered Dreams
 1-9     program aims to do just that; and
1-10           WHEREAS, Because underage drinking often leads to disaster
1-11     and sorrow, developers of the Shattered Dreams program fervently
1-12     believe that Drinking and Driving Ends All Dreams and have adopted
1-13     the acronym D.E.A.D. to convey this message; their goal is to
1-14     educate young people about the dangers of underage drinking and
1-15     driving through a powerful and dramatic experience; and
1-16           WHEREAS, Many resources have been committed to preventing
1-17     alcohol abuse by Texans under the age of 21; all Texans should aid
1-18     this endeavor by advocating safer and healthier alcohol-consumption
1-19     norms for young Texans; and
1-20           WHEREAS, Members of Anderson High School's Students Against
1-21     Destructive Decisions have chosen to present the Shattered Dreams
1-22     program; they believe their goal, which is to help students overcome
1-23     destructive decisions like drinking while underage and driving, to
1-24     be best achieved through the Shattered Dreams presentation; and
 2-1           WHEREAS, May 5-6, 1999, will be designated as Shattered
 2-2     Dreams Program Day at Anderson High School in Austin, Texas;
 2-3     the Shattered Dreams program and the Students Against Destructive
 2-4     Decisions urge all students of Anderson to work together to end
 2-5     underage drinking; now, therefore, be it
 2-6           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
 2-7     76th Legislature, hereby commend the Shattered Dreams program
 2-8     and Anderson High's Students Against Destructive Decisions on their
 2-9     efforts to stem alcohol-related violations and tragedies caused by
2-10     underage drinking; and, be it further
2-11           RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a
2-12     memento of this important occasion.
2-13                                                              Barrientos
