WHEREAS, traffic crashes are the NUMBER ONE killer of Americans, ages 1-38, and last year in
California, 3,459 people were killed in traffic crashes, on our streets and highways; and
WHEREAS, the safety seat belt has been proven to be the most effective life-saving and injury-reducing
device for all types of motor vehicle crashes; and

safety seat belts during every trip in a car; and
WHEREAS, the BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE CHALLENGE has been extended through 1999-2000; and
WHEREAS, this extension will give city governments, community organizations, business, industry and
labor an additional opportunity to help bring about a significant increase in seat belt and
child car seat usage, by focusing public attention on the life-saving benefits of these safety
devices; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter National Safety Council has invited all of Southern
California to join in this vital effort to reduce the terrible carnage that prevails on our
streets and highways.

commitment to the vital BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE CHALLENGE, hereby proclaims the remaining
holiday months of 1999 and all of 2000 as BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE CHALLENGE and pledges to make
