I am referring to your telex reply of today in which you
suggest to start a.s.a.p, with the preparation of the
scientific part of our argumentation. In this case I would
propose to meet on the 25th and/or 26th April, the only
dates when I could come to Stockholm. If these day are not
convenient for you, we would have to meet another time in
Neuchatel. However, as the drafting should be done in
Swedish, Stockholm would be handier.
The main arguments against the "passive smoking" labels
should be based upon quotations from the proceedings of the
1984 Vienna "workshop" which are published in the journal
"6ffentliches Gesundheitswesen" under the title
"Passivrauchen aus medizinischer Sicht - Ergenbisse eines
Expertengespr~ches".
The authors of the proceedings are two well known
personalities of the German public health service, Professor
Gostomzyk and Professor Franck.
Our thrust in the "passive smoking" area must be : there is
absolute no proof that passive smoking is a health hazard.

As far as the primary health issue is concerned, I have
already sugested only to attack the more exagerated
statements.
I shall compile a few selected publications, on which we
could base a concise document. You will receive the
relevant photocopies within the next days.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Helmut Gaisch
