drug and alcohol prevention education; and | ||
WHEREAS, These organizations are hosting Substance Abuse | ||
Prevention and Treatment Advocacy Day to provide a forum for the | ||
discussion of substance abuse issues in the state and to advocate | ||
for legislative support in the fight against substance abuse and | ||
in the effort to heighten public awareness of this affliction; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
