MEMORANDUM FOR DON BAER
RASCO~
FROM:
CAROL H.
SUBJECT:
RADIO ADDRESS TOPIC SUGGESTION
As you may know, the month of December is nationally
recognized as "Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness" month.
I
wanted to suggest that it might be appropriate for the President
to dedicate a portion of a December radio address to this topic.
The President could incorporate the following issues in a radio
address:
Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness:
Speak out against driving under the influence of drugs
and alcohol, especially this holiday season.
Recognize
the importance of groups such as Mothers Against Drunk
Driving (MADD).
Adolescent substance use and abuse:
The Department of Health and Human Services is expected
to come out with a study in January, showing increased
usage rates for drugs and alcohol among teenagers.
[NOTE:
The President has been criticized in the past
for not speaking out against adolescent use of drugs
and/or alcohol].
Crime:
The President's fight against violence led to the
successful passage of a crime bill with strong child
endangerment provisions.
These provisions mean tougher
penalties for those who drive drunk with children in
the car and authorize states to use anti-drug monies
for drunk driving prosecutions.
My office recently met with representatives from Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD) . They are eager to work with the
Administration and would greatly appreciate any efforts we make
to bra:ng-a~tention to this issue.
the
of my staff would be glad to assist in drafting
remarks. He can be reached at x65568.
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you.

I
Go,od morn~ng .- · December _.:. and the holiday season it ushers
in-- is a wonderful time of year. The pace slows and-moods
brighten as the holiday_ spirit ·lifts us up and brings us closer
tog~ther.
We have a chance to visit with ,family and f~iends, to
celebrate, to reminisce~ and to think about the year ahead.,
I
.
.
.
•
.. And. ~e have the ,chance to reflect on our accomplishments, as
individuals and a.s a nation. In the last two years, our
Administration has made a good start. We've worked,hard to
downsize government, create jobs .and opportunity,· and help
,
middle-class Americans ta'ke advantage of. both. But despite: our
progress, nothing w~ do can truly· res.tore the .American Dream
unless people ex~rcise personal responsibility -for t;he~r own,
lives_.,· That is why' we must continue ou·r work to refor:r'\1- welfare
and to help educate more Americans to fa_ce the challenges of the
future. The ni:ost important thing any of'us can do is·to take that
responsibility,.for our communities, our families, and ourselves.
During.the holid~y season, it's par;ticularlyimportant fo~
all of us to take . responsibility to .keep America'. s .highways safe.
Some'l8,000 people will die this year· iri alcohol-related auto
crash~s ~- about one every 30 minutes~· Well over a ciillion
people will be injured ~-·one ·person every 26 seconds .. Th,ese
.
terrible incidents happen· so .frequently and are so pervasiv,e that
almost half of all Americans -will be involved in an alcohol-.
related .Grash at some· time in their lives.
Because of t,he determined work of private organi'zations like
.·Mothers Against Iirunk.,Driving; the number of alcoho1-related
traffic deaths hasrdropped about 30% in ihe last ten years~ But
it's very clear that we have a lpng, long way to go.
·Nothing is as terrible: 'as collisions that occur when an'
.adult under the influence gets.bellind the-steering wheel with a
<:;hi,ld in the car. . For any· adult to reckl-essly endanger the· life
of a child in this way is.~eyond-~isgracef~l. It is . an atro~ity.
·.',
.
.
'
-
,,
The Crime Bill I signed in September makes it clear that we
do n6t t~lerate this kind of behavior -- it puts tough new
_penalties on the books for people who drive drrink with children
in the·. car and makes it easier for states to prosecu:te anybody
who drives under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
'
�. . Th~ sad truth is these. crashes are caused by people· who know
. b.etter bu't 'dri,nk and dri'(e ariyvJay, .hurting themselves. and hurting
others. And :don't'·fool yourself: if you let a friend drive while
under the influence of drugs or alcohc;:>l, y'ou ·are their accomplice
as much: as 'if you were:behind the wheel.yourself.·_
·
·
... -
. Preventing. these disas'ters is simple: stay away from 'drugs-_
·completely; ·they're ·not· on_ly. illegal, they're dartgerous ;..._ and ·
liable to kill you ~nor out b£ a ~ar. If you're going to drink;.
be responsible. Drink in_moderatiori
and choose a designated
driver who doesn't drink ~t all.
.
'
'
-
'
And if you see a friend about to get behind -~he wheel ·when
you,know·it isn't a good idea, take the. keys away.· It may,no~
seem easy at the moment, but it will be the greatest favor you
/ may,. ever do for him or' her. '' ~-· ' . ' . '
'
'
\
'
'
'
'
Right after,this. radio address, I'm going to sign an order
making this National Drunk and Drugged Driving Preventio'ri Month.
·December. is a good month for. that -::- not only because of the
increased celebrating that goes on at holiday parties -- but
becaus~ the boliday season helps tb bripg out the best_in all of
us. · It makes us think about each. other ~ little more, and
reminds us of the obligation we all share to improve our
. ··communities and keep them safe and soun9- for our children-and
g:r:andchildren·.
In''that spirit, the best gift' you can give. anyone this year.
is a simple promise to yourself: If you're. going to drink_....:

�Good morning. The celebration of the New Year is
an occasion for optimism and hope, full of dreams for
the year ahead. At the same time, it's important that we ·
take last year's lessons with us into the future.
Which is exactly why we make New Year's
Resolutions -- an avowal to work even harder in the
· coming year to be the.very best that we can be. New
Year's is also a very good time to think about what we.
want for America in the year ahead,· and about what
each of us can do to make this great nation the very
best that it can be.
My New Year's Resolution to all of you is simple:
2
�I am going to keep up the. work we have begun to help
Americans compete and win in the new economy and to
restore the American Dream for middle-class families.
First and foremost, we should do nothing to
jeopardize the economic recovery we have helped to
create over the last two years. Our deficit reduction plan
has already cut the deficit by $700 Billion -- over
$10,000 per American family. The economic strategy.
we have pursued has helped to produce over five·
Million new jobs. We have reduced the federal
government to its smallest size in 30 years, and used
some of the savings to invest in the American people:
3
�expanding Head Start, making college loans more
affordable, and already giving a tax cut to over 15
Million working class families.
But last year made very clear that all the good
statistics in the world don't necessarily mean more
· money in the pockets of working Americans. The
average American is simply not receiving enough
benefit from this recovery. We have to change that.
. Two weeks ago, I proposed 'a Middle Class Bill or-=·"·
·.. 1 -··
Rights -- four new ideas to help middle class Americans
build a ·future that lives up to their dreams.
4
�First, I want Americans to have the skills and
education they need to get and keep high-paying jobs. 1
'-. .
propose that college tuition, community college,
graduate school, professional school, vocational
education, or worker training be fully deductible from
your taxable income, phased up to $10,000 a year, if·
your family makes less than $120,000.
Second, if your family makes $75,000 a year or.
.
.
.
.•
.
(
.
.
•
(
less, you'll receive a tax cut phas'ed up to $500 for

'·.,·
�Third, if your family makes less than $100,000 a
\.
year, you'll be able to put $2,000 a year, tax-free, into
an individual retirement account. But you'll also be able
to withdraw the money, tax-free, for education, a first: ·_
home, health care, or the: care of an elderly parent.
Finally, I want to take the Billions of dollars that
.
.
gov~mment
spends on job training and make that
money directly available to working_ Amer~cans to spend ·

�Every single penny of the Middle Class Bill of Rights is
paid for by dramatic cuts I have proposed in the federal
government. An important part of my New Year's
Resolution is this: I will not allow anyone to destroy the
progress we have made in reducing the deficit.
On this New Year's Eve, lwant to welcome the
