STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I congratulate the Congress for passing landmark legislation today
that will help save lives by keeping drunk drivers off the road. Earlier
today, the Congress overwhelmingly approved a bill that will help establish
the first-ever national drunk driving standard at .08 blood alcohol content
(BAC). This groundbreaking measure, which I have long advocated, will save
hundreds of lives a year and represents a major victory for public safety
and American families all across the country.
