Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking Act (STOP), 
which recognizes that the continued State regulation of 
all three tiers of the beverage alcohol industry (manufac-
turer, wholesaler, and retailer), as well as of the sale, dis-
tribution, transportation, and importation of alcohol is 
critical to preventing access to alcohol by persons under 
21 years of age; and 
Whereas the We Don’t Serve Teens campaign seeks to unite 
State officials, business leaders, parents, community lead-
ers, and all three tiers of the beverage alcohol industry 
in fighting underage drinking, and unites all those par-
ticipants in a concerted effort to protect America’s youth: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of campaigns 
working to improve long-term public health and well 
being, including campaigns that work to prevent under-
age drinking of alcoholic beverages, such as the We don’t 
Serve Teens Campaign; 
(2) encourages Americans to utilize resources, in-
cluding the Web site of the Federal Trade Commission 
at www.dontserveteens.gov and the Web site of the Na-
tional Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism at 
www.alcoholfreekids.org, that provide a wealth of infor-
mation beneficial to combating and reducing such under-
age drinking; and 
(3) commends the leadership and continuing efforts 
of all groups working to reduce such underage drinking,
