IChair promises stronger ties with NNPA I NATIONAL NKWffAfW FUBUtHkMS amocution Memphis ? As one of the keynote speakers at the National Newspaper Publishers Associa tion's 58th annual Convention RJR Nabisco Chairman Steven F. Gold stone promised African American editors and publishers that he would work toward "a stronger relationship, between RJR Nabisco and African American newspapers Prior to his luncheon address, Goldstone held a private meeting with Dorothy Leavdl. president of NNPA and members of the organi zation's marketing committee. The discussion centered around adver tising policies of RJR Tobacco Company and RJR Nabisco. RJR Nabisco is the parent company of RJR Tobacco. , In his remarks given before a capacity crowd and a large number of local and national media. Gold stone said, "It was over 25 years ago that R. J. Reynolds became of the first Fortune 500 companies to -begin regularly placing advertising in African American newspapers Our recognition of your important role in pro viding a means to communicate with adult reader* led the way for a lot of other advertiser*. Today, you play a powerful and indispensable role in providing a forum to discuss the needs and aspirations of African Americans all over the country." Goldstone acknowledged read ing "a recent NNPA editorial which called for 'an honest debate' on the tobacco issues being discussed in Congress and let me just say I could not agree with you more." Gold stone s NNFA convention address came two days after the compre hensive tobacco bill aimed at reduc ing teenage smoking was killed in the U.S. Senate. On teenage smoking. Gold stone said, "I have said before and I will say it again, we at RJR Nabis co have heard the rightful concerns of parents and others who want to take the Kept necessary to ensure tobacco is not sold or marketed to kid*. I have testified in Con free* and I firmly believe that marketing directed at children is not only ille gal. but immoral and unethical. Our Reynolds tobacco company operate* today on these principles, and I will personally make sure that any employee who violate* them will be out of a job. No question about it." On the subject of tobacco com panies targeting African American youth, Ci old stone said. There is no evidence for this speculation, but it does conveniently absolve everyone ? parents, schools, law enforce ment and yes, government from any responsibility in the matter. "It also misses the larger and more important point and that is this: the African American commu nity has been phenomenally more successful over the years in teaching its children not to smoke than any one else. Here are the facts. In the last 15 years, smoking among African American high school seniors has consistently been only a fraction of the national average. Our government admits that they have no idea about the reasons for Nabkta Chairman and 00 Ummt f. OaUmnt jtmntm) ta*u with NNFA wutuUvm. Prwm rig^tt Mmbmrt Cwfc Awry, Omm thf IsmvwM and tmim Pitt.
