Gentlemen: :~., , ~or the past three years, Dr. Dom±n~o A~±ado has rece~ed a Spec±al ~nd 4 ~r~nt for the s~pport of h±s consult±rig act±v~t±es in the smoking and health area. In 19~8~=f~punt of the grant was $102,000. We are now recommen~/~g that Dr.//Aviado be given ~ support for 1983 in the same amount ($102,000/P/to be funded again through Special Fund 4. ~ • ~ Dr. Aviado performs this consultation work through a professional corporation named Atmospheric Health Sciences, Inc.: that is located in Short Hills, New Jersey. During 1982, he devoted approximately 190 days of the working year to projects related to smoking and health. These projects included an ongoing review of smoking and health literature, preparation of recommen- dations regarding research projects, several site visits to research institutions, the preparation of statements (including one for the Waxman/Hatch hearings), and the analysis of ongoing technical issues relating to our work in the smoking and health area. Dr. Aviado was especially active in the areas of public smoking, occupation-related diseases, maternal smoking and the possible effects of tobacco smoke constituents/ingredients. Dr. Aviado continues to be a valuable source of infor- ~ mation by reason of his work for the EPA Clean Air Advisory Committee and his occasional consultation with chemical and pharmaceutical companies.

SHOOK, HARDY ~ BACON January 26, 1983 Page Two We have reviewed Dr. Aviado's activities for 1982 and feel that renewed support is warranted. As in previous years, we plan to review the progress of the grant at the end of the year to determine whether a similar consulting arrangement is advisable for 1984. Please let me hear from you regarding this recommendation at your earliest convenience. PMS:sh Enc. cc: Ms. Janet C. Brown Edwin J. Jacob, Esq. Sincerely, Patrick M. Sirridge
