Campaign Mourns the Death of Senator Edward ...(ouse passed the Family Smoking Preventio...),Health

Date:8/26/2009

ouse passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act finally authorizing the FDA to regulate the tobacco industry. At the signing ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, President Obama paid tribute to Senator Kennedy's outstanding leadership in getting this major public health legislation passed and signed into law. Although he was, by that time, too ill to attend the White House ceremony, his presence was felt by everyone there.

Over the years, Senator Edward M. Kennedy has become an inspiration not only to tobacco prevention advocates but also to the entire public health community. He has been a leader in the truest sense of the word. We are proud to say that we had the opportunity to work closely with him over many years. Like the rest of America, we mourn his passing. We will miss him terribly.
