Bush Signs Youth Suicide Prevention Law
President Bush on Thursday signed into law a bill authorizing $82 million in grants aimed at preventing suicide among young people.
The Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act is named for the son of Oregon Republican Sen. Gordon Smith, who championed the legislation as a tribute to his 21-year-old son, who committed suicide last year. The senator, his wife Sharon, daughter Brittany and son Morgan attended the signing ceremony at the White House.
