A FAINT LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

The activities of state and local governments as well as of many public and private agencies in their fight against drunk-driving are reviewed. The six-point program of the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving is outlined: (1) To have a policy aimed at general deterrence; (2) To place emphasis on the problem at the local level; (3) To coordinate the activities of the varied groups for added strength; (4) To have convicted offenders fund the new prevention programs through their fines, court costs etc...; (5) To generate widespread citizens' support for the prevention programs; and (6) To have a long term goal of changing public attitude toward drinking and driving.
