General Counsel Lorillard Corporation 200, East 4,2nd Street New York, New York i0017 Dear Arthur: I have confirmed that Dr. Soloff does have a capable enzyme chemist. His name is Andras Lacko. I have talked with Dr. Hockett and Dr. Hockett does not believe there is a problem with respect to Soloff's report- ~ing on his proj,ects since he generally obtains early publication of his work. I am, however, through another source, making further inquiry with respect to this matter of reports. Perhaps Dr. Spears, to whom a copy of this letter is going, has some specific problem in mind which we should try to obviate. Best personal regards. Sincerely, _~ William W. Shinn WWS/r cc: Dr. Alexander W. Spears III
