Willis Group Research & Development Centre British-American Tobacco Company Limited Regent's Park Road Southampton, England S09 IPE Dear Mr. Willis: Thank you for your letter of December IS, 1977. I believe :hat this letter will brinE to an end the need for future correspondence on the list of additive5 which may be used in the reconstituted tobacco process. Using my item numbers: ~8) Urea: lqe will remove as you requested. (i0) Cade Oil: Cade Oil will be limited to i00 ppm. I have reworked the "Table of Possible Additives to Proposed Reconstituted Tobacco" to reflect our correspondence on this subject. ! hope that the reworkcd list will suffice in "setting broad upper limits for the levels of their incorporation and assembling a sufficiently wide list of useful and acceptable additives w~thin which the product specification or specifications will lie." It was good seeing you again during your recent visit to the Philip Morris R ~ D Center in Richmond.
