II. BACKGROUND
This event will "kick-off" an unprecedented effort toward achieving
highway safety in our nation. Secretary Lewis has announced that today
begins a National Highway Safety Campaign and today's event focuses
national attention on the two-pronged volunteer effort which your Admin-
istration has initiated. The two-pronged effort is: the National Safety
Belt Campaign for which all of the attendees have pledged their personal
and corporate efforts in some demonstrable way, and; the creation of the
Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving which you are forming to take a
hard look at the causes and some solutions for this devastating problem.
William Snyder, CEO of Geico will speak briefly to the issue of safety
belt use and former Transportation Secretary Volpe will speak briefly to
the drunk driving issue.
No members of the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving have been
announced. Your announcement that Secretary Volpe has agreed to chair the
Commission will be the only specific announcement made with respect to
that Commission.

REMARKS: COMMISSION ON DRUNK DRIVING AND NATIONAL SAFETY BELT
CAMPAIGN, APRIL 14, 1982
Before we get started, I want all Americans and everyone
present to know that I am a strong believer in safety belts. I
even have one on my saddle.
You know the White House press corps is always reporting on
my facts and figures. Well, I hope they report on the numbers
I'm about to give, because you simply won't hear any figures more
important than these. Nearly 50,000 people were killed on our
highways last year. Now out of this statistic comes an even more
chilling one -- drunk drivers were involved in 25,000 of those
fatalities, in addition to 750,000 injuries a year. In other
words, half of all automobile deaths involve drunk drivers.
During this short ceremony, at least one person will be killed by
a drunk driver.
I am afraid to think whom it may be. All of us have heard
the tragic stories about the young mother with her new baby, the
grandmother out with her grandchildren, or the father and son
going to Little League practice, who are killed by the drunken
driver. Americans are outraged that such slaughter of the
innocent can take place on our highways. We are talking not just
about drunks, but about killers, and we've got to get them off
our roads.
Our anger and frustration are matched only by the grief of
those who have lost loved ones in such accidents. Like millions
of other citizens, my gut reaction to dangerously drunk drivers
Page 2
is throw 'em in the slammer and then throw away the key. If only
the answer were that simple.
But there are useful preventive measures we can take. The
highway safety campaign we are launching is aimed at the areas
where a little prevention can pay big returns in saving lives and
reducing injuries. First we intend to hit hard at the major
threat on our highways -- the drunken driver. Today I am
announcing the formation of a commission to lead this effort and
act as a catalyst for grassroots action. For even though drunk
driving is a problem nationwide, it can be solved only at the
State and local level. Yet the Federal Government also has a
role to play.
The commission members will not have cushy appointments.
Because I don't want a report; I want results. And I don't want
a study; I want lives saved. John Volpe, a former Secretary of
Transportation himself, has agreed to be the chairman of this
important panel. With his leadership and that of the rest of the
commission, we will advocate a strong approach to reducing drunk
driving accidents across the country.
Some accidents, of course, will inevitably persist. But let
me give you another interesting statistic. About half of all
people who die in passenger cars, light trucks, or vans could
have been saved if they had been wearing seatbelts. Half
think of it. They could have been saved with just one little
click of the buckle.
And so, the second part of our traffic safety program is to
make motorists more aware of the importance of safety belts and
Page 3
their effectiveness in saving lives. When I was Governor of
California -- I can see my staff saying, "Oh, no, here we go
again. -- but back when I was Governor of California, about
25 percent of all Americans used safety belts. Today, only
10 percent of our people wear them. We're going to get that
percentage back up there where it was and then go higher.
What is already heartening about this effort to make our
highways safer is the support of organizations in the private
sector. Citizens at the grassroots are organizing to help State
and local authorities expand their fight against the drinking
driver. The mood of the Nation is right to make great headway
against this problem and that is exactly what we intend to do.
By working together, we genuinely can look forward to greater
safety on our streets and highways.
