So I am delighted by this news. Let me say that I cannot think of a better opportunity than now, during National Child Passenger Safety Week, to announce this latest initiative to keep our children safe while traveling on our streets and highways. The study, just released today, confirms, what we know to be true, that children do as their parents do. Drivers who do not buckle up are far less likely to make sure children are buckled. The numbers speak volumes.
Adult behavior dictates safe behavior in cars.
Now, let me speak first as a parent. Children are so smart. So every time, without fail, I buckle up and so does she. I cannot think of a more important habit to mimic. President Clinton agrees.
