With suicide the third most frequent cause of death among people ages 10 to 24, Nebraska Rep. Tom Osborne and others in Congress say the federal government must do more to stem that trend.
The House and Senate both passed a measure Thursday authorizing $82 million for state suicide prevention programs and college counseling centers. President Bush is expected to sign it.
But Congress was not united on how to best prevent young people from taking their lives.
