151 Madison Avenue Arlington, Mass. 02174 March 5, 1969 Dr. Clarence Cook Little | Scientific Director Council for Tobacco Research = U. S. A. ' 633 Third Avenue New York, N. Y. 10017 Dear Dr, Little: I am sure you are aware of the advertisement placed in Monday's Wall Street Journal by the "Topacca Institute", which quotes you extensively, Although, I am sure your remarks are quite valid within a proper context, their appearance in such an advertisement can only mislead and confuse. Whether or no there be a demonstrated causal relationship between smoking and any disease, the statistical evidence is overwhelming that smoking is harmful, Any ex=smoker will also testify to a general improvement in his health upon stopping smoking. I find that I dare not smoke a single cigarette lest I fall victim once again to the habit. When I was a heavy smoker (23 packs a day) i found I did enjoy a few cigarettes Occasionally, Most cigarettes I smoked however because of the habit It would seem to me that the most fruitful avenue for tobacco= related research would be in the field of addiction. If you could identify the addicting agents and remove them from tobacco smoke, you might make it possible for a person like me to enjoy an occasional cigarette without fear of addiction, In any event there are any number of thing the tobacco industry could do that would be batter than denying what is well known. Propaganda is not an adequate substitute for knowledge. T Moh) Jerome T. Holland Yours truly,

These initiatives are designed to discourage young people from smoking and to prevent their access to cigarettes. These steps expand upon and reaffirm previous actions taken by the industry to steer its product away from young people. I'm happy to send you several copies of "Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No," as you requested. The booklet is designed to help adults help children resist peer pressure to smoke. The booklet provides guidance and actual techniques parents can use to talk to their children about peer pressure, which is one of the primary reasons children smoke. It can also be used by educators, to help them in discussing the subject with students. The industry is committed to a long-term program to discourage young people from smoking. Sincerely, Wy dani.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM 0 SUBJECT: Weekly Highlights DATE: August 4, 1987 Flavor Technology TO: Dr. M. E. Stowe FROM: Brian Lawrence Flavor Support for SALEM . a RED. Products, in the SALEM KS and SALEM Light 85 styles, were made by Brand R&D using cavity filters containing various levels of menthol laden polymer beads. At their request, menthol formulations of cut filler application were designed to simulate the same menthol deliveries as the above prototypes. Calculations for these topdressings were based on the analyses obtained from the menthol content in the tobacco and the polymer beads. An aging study will be conducted by Brand R&D on the comparison of these two menthol products: mentholated beads in filter versus mentholated cut filler. It was also recommended to Brand R&D that a comparison of the puff-by-puff smoke menthol profiles is essential information if a true delivery of menthol against time basis is to be understood. 7 Brian Lawrence /mpm Xc: Applied R&D Managers SET’ 9PS0S hee. eer ts

As you know, the SP-A gene is expressed in a lung-specific manner; SP-A mRNA transcripts are detected primarily in type II pneumonocytes and to a lesser extent in nonciliated bronchioalveolar epithelial (Clara) cells. We have found in studies using transgenic mice that 4,000 bp of DNA flanking the 5'-end of the rabbit SP-A gene targets reporter gene expression only in lung, and specifically to type II and Clara cells. In consideration of the cell-specific nature of SP-A promoter activity, this genomic construct should be most useful in targeting Cre recombinase to the same cell types in the lung that also express gp330. I read your grant proposal with great interest and believe that your studies using loxP/Cre recombinanse-mediated gene targeting for creating cell-specific inactivation of 2p330 will yield important information regarding the role of this protein in lung cell biology. Sincerely, GB RM deDan —_ Carole R. Mendelson 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard / Dallas, Texas 75235-9038 / 214’648-2944/ FAX 214/648-8856

UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE ACTION COUNCIL ; Box 2438 CM High Point, NC 27261 (819) 835-5065 FABRIC CLASSIFICATION TEST METHOD--1990 I. BACKGROUND To participate in the UFAC Voluntary Action Progran, upholstered furniture manufacturers must agree to produce their furniture in accordance with the basic UFAC construction criteria. In order to identify component materials which meet the UFAC requirements, a test method is needed to define acceptable performance in each criterion. II. SCOPE This test method is intended as the means of establishing the performance level of upholstery cover fabrics in contact with polyurethane foam with respect to cigarette ignition resistance. Fabrics which meet the requirements of this test method may be labelled as UFAC Class I, and may be used directly over conventional polyurethane in the horizontal seating surfaces of upholstered furniture bearing the UFAC hangtag. All other fabrics are UFAC Class II and require an approved barrier between the cover fabric and conventional polyurethane foam in the horizontal Seating surfaces. ITI. GENERAL PROCEDURE Vertical and horizontal panels of two inch UPAC Standard Polyurethane Foam substrate are covered, using the fabric to be tested. The panels are placed in three specimen holders and a lighted cigarette is placed in each crevice formed by the abutment of vertical and horizontal panels of each assembly. Each cigarette is covered with a piece of sheeting fabric. The cigarettes are allowed to burn their entire length, unless an obvious ignition occurs. Test measurements and observations are recorded. A minimum of three test specimens are required for each cover fabric sample to be classified. TV. DEFINITIONS 1. IGNITION: Continuous, self-sustaining smoldering combustion of upholstered furniture substrates after exposure to burning cigarettes. 2. OBVIOUS IGNITION: Pronounced continuous and self-sustaining combustion of the test system. Determination is a matter of operator judgement based upon experience in this type of testing. - 3. SAMPLE: Upholstery cover fabric material being classified. 4. SPECIMEN: Individual piece of sample used in one test assembly. 5. CHAR: Area of fabric which is destroyed or degraded from face to. back, not including the area which is only discolored by smoke. April 1, 1990 PTP9 FS80S

Cc: Murphy, Virginia Subject: Draft Importance: High Thanks to you both for your input. Dick, the information on Labstat is excellent and | have included the data as a Table. Are you all OK with the use of the words "flavorant" and "processing aids." What about "formulation aids"? Enciosed is the next draft. Two portions are highlighted, both of which could ba ramoved. Regarding the second portion (alking about rate of absorption), this comes from our answer to Markey, with references, plus a direct response to the Pankow claims. Aerosols are not mentioned; vapor phase is. The inclusion of a discussion about rate is necessary only if the audience receiving this is sophisticated enough to understand the issues. Certainly, we do riot want to provide a complex answer which confuses folks, when a simply one would work. << File: Markey_Dempsey_references_draft.doc >> VOECETPELOS

The following Conference Report serves only as a top line of the findings. The 3 sessions on March 11 were comprised of male Marlboro smokers age 18-34. The 3 sessions on March 12 consisted of 1 group of Marlboro smokers, 2 groups of CAMEL smokers. All attendees had attended at least 1 sporting event in the last 18 months. Each group was exposed to 4 CAMEL Brand executions, 4 existing Sports Marketing ads, 9 comps for proposed Sports Marketing advertising, a sports themed Smooth Magazine and 4 CAMEL sports characters. Although the opinions and overall mindset of the groups were diverse, several creative guidelines were established for CAMEL Sports Marketing . executions: ¢ Realism is a key ingredient in all concepts accepted by the groups - the vehicles and the placement of them in the arena must be believable and relevant. (bike flying out of the stadium) In addition, Joe must be in a position that is viewed as being conceivable (wouldn't be on hay bales and other unattainable locations). * Joe should be involved/interact and clearly exhibit interest in the sports depicted (not looking at the action on hay bale execution and the GT sky box comps). Joe must be relatable, accessible and one of us - yet be "special." He is viewed as a notch ‘ above with the right connections yet not an authority figure or a yuppie suit guy (strong | playback on pink jacket, daintily holding pennant rope, holding restricted sawhorse etc.) 6899 TS9TS "Creative executions should consider the strong opinions elicited regarding coloration »- and the consumers dissemination process.

THe Councit For Topacco RESEARCH—U.S.A., Inc. 900 THIRD AVENUE NEW YORK, N. Y. 10022 HARMON C. McALLISTER, PH.D. RESEARCH DIRECTOR December 22, 1988 M.C. Wu, Ph.D. Dept of Biochemsitry University of North Texas Denton, TX 76203 Dear Dr. Wu: Thank you for your expression of interest in our program of research support. I am pleased to enclose a recent Annual Report that lists grants currently supported and a brochure describing policies of The Council. Our application procedure is a two-step process, comprising a preliminary inquiry and, if that is approved, a final proposal. To accomplish the first step, potential applicants should submit a brief (3 to 4 page) preliminary outline of the study for which support is sought. It should contain the following information: 1. A synopsis of the project under investigation, its present goals and status. 2. A brief outline of plans and goals for the proposed research, specifying the next steps to be taken. . 3. Anticipated duration and annual direct costs of the study as proposed. Please note that The Council will only provide support for a maximum of 3 years. Although grants are made for one year at a time, up to two annual renewals can be considered on the basis of progress reports and materials submitted with renewal applications. : It would also be helpful to have: 1. Brief curricula vitae and scientific bibliographies of the applicant and principal professional level collaborators. The two-page NIH format is preferred for the preliminary inquiry. 2. One copy each of any two or three publications, abstracts or manuscripts that are closely related to the project for which funding is being sought. Preliminary inquires are evaluated by the Executive Committee of our Scientific Advisory Board for scientific merit and for "fit" into The Council’s current multidisciplinary biomedical research program. The reviewers either encourage or discourage submission of a formal detailed application for full competitive consideration. That process takes approximately two months. If the vote is to encourage, then appropriate forms and instructions are provided. Submission deadlines for full (not preliminary) applications are May 31 and November 30; activation is typically seven months later. Sincerely, Danan valle Harmon McAllister Encl HCM/mla
