          DIGEST:          This resolution proclaims October 23 to October 31,  
          2015, inclusive, as Red Ribbon Week, and encourages all  
          Californians to help build drug-free communities and participate

          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)Californians for Drug-Free Youth, Inc., a statewide  
            parent-community organization, the office of the Governor, the  
            office of the Attorney General, the State Department of  
            Alcohol and Drug Programs, the State Department of Education,  
            the California Parent Teacher Association, and over 100 other  
            agencies are cosponsoring October 23 to 31, 2015, inclusive,  
            as the period that includes Red Ribbon Week.


          2)Red Ribbon Week was initiated by the National Family  
            Partnership, Inc., after Drug Enforcement Administration Agent  
            Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was killed in Mexico by drug  
            traffickers in 1985.

                                                                     Page  2




          3)During Red Ribbon Week, parents, youths, schools, businesses,  
            law enforcement, religious institutions, service  
            organizations, senior citizens, medical and military  
            personnel, sports teams, and others concerned about the  
            effects of drugs on their communities will wear and display  
            red ribbons during this weeklong celebration to show their  
            commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.


          4)The theme this year is "Respect Yourself.  Be Drug Free;" and,  
            securing a safe and healthy future for our children is  
            directly threatened by drug abuse.  Awareness of this problem  
            will help individuals in fighting drug abuse while promoting  
            education, drug prevention, and parental involvement.  


          This resolution proclaims October 23 to October 31, 2015,  
          inclusive, as Red Ribbon Week, and encourages all Californians  
          to help build drug-free communities and participate in drug  
          prevention activities.
