The Senate Appropriations Committee for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and related agencies recently released a report that commended the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary for establishing the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD). The committee report also stated it was disappointed that ICCPUD's Interim Report did not include plans for a Surgeon's General's "Call to Action" on the prevention of underage drinking. The committee strongly appealed for the Surgeon General to issue a "Call to Action" on the health crisis of underage drinking. The Development of a Plan for Combating Underage Drinking was released in April 2004.
