The fighting against youth smoking since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm. We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer, and to give them something positive to do after school before their parents get home. We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.

Today, I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children form an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. Consider this: 3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it. This is a national tragedy（悲剧）that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent. For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, launching（发动）a nationwide campaign（运动）to educate them about the dangers of smoking, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to severely restrict（限制）tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years. That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.

　　Patricia Hearst, 19-year-old granddaughter of the late newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped February 5 and held for ransom (赎金) by members of a radical (激进的) group called the Symbionness Liberation Army(共生解放组织). The action resembled (像) some kidnappings in Latin American and other parts of the world. It was followed by other across the nation that had no avowed (承认) political motive, plus countless threats and a few hoaxes. (恶作剧)

　　Miss Hearst was abducted (诱拐) from her Berkeley, California apartment by at least two women and two men. They belonged to a group of both blacks and whites who called   for violent revolution to overturn “all forms of racism,　(种族) sexism, ageism, capitalism, fascism, (法西斯主义) individualism, possessiveness, and competitiveness.”

　　The kidnappers demanded that her father, Randolph Hearst, president and publisher of the San Francisco Examiner, provided (提供) as a prelude (前奏) to further negotiations $ 70 worth of top-quality free meat, vegetables, and dairy products over a four-week period to “all people (in California) with welfare cards, Social Security pension (养老金) cards, food-stamp cards, disabled veteran (老兵) cards, medical cards, parole of probation(假释或缓型) papers, and jail of hail-release (释放) slips (监狱释放单或保释单). “Tape recordings were mailed of Miss Hearst's voice and of a speaker who called himself Field Marshal Cinque-reportedly an escaped convict named Donaid Dofreeze.

　　Estimates of the cost of providing the food ran as high as $ 400 million. Hearst said February 19 that he would contribute $ 500,000 to a food-giveaway program, and that $ 1.5 million more would be donated by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. Later, he said the Hearst Corporation would put up an additional $ 4 million to continue the program, but only his daughter was released.

　　Another demand later added by the kidnappers was that Russell Little and Joseph Remiro, two SLA members arrested and charged with 1973 slaying (杀害) of Marcus Foster, Oakland superintendent (负责人) of schools, be allowed to conduct a nationally televised news conference. (谈判) Two judges refused to sanction (批准) the request.
