OF COUNSEL
February 8, 1982
In 1981, a grant of $92,000 was given to Dr. Domingo
Aviado. The details of this grant were described in my letter
February 6, 1981, a copy of which is attached. We are now
recommending that Dr. Aviado be given support for a third year in
a total amount of $102,000 to be funded through Special Fund 4.
Dr. Aviado has his own consulting firm named Atmospheric
~ealth Sciences, Inc., that is located in Short Hills, New Jersey.
During 1981, he devoted approximately 160 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
recommendations regarding research projects, several site visits
to research institutions and the preparation of statements and
_.critiques relating to our work on various smoking and health
related matters. Dr. Aviado was especially active in the areas of
public smoking, self-extinguishing cigarettes, and occupation-
related diseases.
Dr. Aviado remains an extremely important resource for
us in our smoking and health work. He also is a valuable source
of information by reason of his membership on the EPA Clean Air
Advisory Committee and his occasional consultancies with chemical
and pharmaceutical companies.
We have reviewed Dr. Aviado's activities for 1981 and
feel that renewed support is warranted in the amount of $93,000
together with a $9,000 allotment for expenses. As before, we plan

grant as early as possible.
