    Radio Remarks on Kick Butts Day
    April 14, 1999

        Today, on Kick Butts Day, young people all across America are
    speaking out against teen tobacco use. These kids are right. It's
    tragic--and it's wrong--that every day 3,000 kids become regular
    smokers. So I urge Congress to stand with our kids and stand up to the
    tobacco companies who are targeting our children. I urge you to make
    sure the tobacco settlement funds are used to reduce youth smoking. It's
    time all of us worked together to give our children the healthy future
    they deserve.

    Note: The President's remarks were recorded at approximately 12:30 p.m.
    on April 9 in the administrative offices of Memorial Hall in
    Philadelphia, PA, for later broadcast. The transcript was released by
    the Office of the Press Secretary on April 14. These remarks were also
    made available on the White House Press Office Radio Actuality Line.
