MEMORANDUM
March 26, 1975
TO :
FROM :
Mr. Arthur J. Stevens
A. W. Spears
I am returning an agenda for the Symposium on "The
Chemical Requirements of the Tobacco Industry," to which
you attached a note, "What is the significance of this"?
This is a symposium being organized under the American
Chemical Society, and covers a list of subjects. I have
actually read several of the papers in draft form and
find that both of t]~ose to be presented by Doct~or Tso and
Doctor Hoffmann will[ disclose some of the material which
I previously forwarded to you from the Tobacco Working
Group. Tso's paper, particularly, takes into considera-
tion the possibility that some of the leaf components
correlated with biological activity in the Tobacco Working
Group program are a part of a definition Of leaf quality~
and usability. Quite frankly, I doubt that this symposium
will receive press coverage or much general attention by
the scientifl.c community.
I am also attaching, for your information, the agenda
of the session at the 3rd World Conference on Smoking and
Health, which will be chaired by Doctor Wynder. In the
past, these session:~ have been closed to the press, with
only the chairman giving a stur~mary of the session dis-
cussions to the general assembly. Of course, the press
will be present at the general session, and individual
participants may talk to the press independently. We have
discussed the subject before, and I'll keep you informed.
