Primary Responsibility: TBD Carol Hrycaj ~ve~vlew In February, Congress began work on the FY 1991 budget. Coalition allies, stressing opposition to excise taxes and advocating fair taxation, followed and participated in the "progressivity versus regressivity" debate. New qndertakings for 1990, including the op-ed program, the congressional district campaign and the tax regressivity studies, continued to move forward. Eighlights Several new excise tax projects progressed in February, including the Coalition on Human Needs' congressional district campaign, the Economic Policy Institute's consumption study, the Texas Alliance on Human Needs' state campaign and consulting economists' endeavors. These undertakings supplement the 1990 tax program and are an effort to aggressively bolster anti- excise tax arguments and maintain a "fair taxation" environment. The 1990 op-ed program involving consulting economists' articles on the excise tax and "user fee" question moved forward last month. We reviewed additional draft articles and returned them to the authors to seek placement. Meanwhile, the previously cleared op-eds continue to appear in print. Recently published articles include those by J.R. Clark (with placements in five different Tennessee newspapers); Ryan Amacher (the A~de~son In~ependent-Ma~l); William Hunter (the Milwaukee Journal); and John David (the Cha~eston Gazette). Consulting economists sent letters to administration officials reported to be looking for ways to justify a cigarette excise tax/"user fee" connection. Many of the economists received a direct response from a Treasury Department. official who appears to have backed-off from the "user fee" notion. In February, Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ) testified by invitation before the Ways & Means Committee on the effect of the 1985 Tax Reform Act. Another group, the Coalition on Human Needs, is preparing testimony to submit for the committee's March hearing on the federal budget. CONFIDENTIAL: - MINNESOTA TOBACCO LITIGATION' ' TIMN 362723

Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan, testifying before the House Budget Committee in defense of the HHS FY 1991 budget, indicated that the administration would "keep an open mind" about increasing tobacco taxes. Anticipating similar remarks, we covered and reported on Sullivan's appearance before the Senate Finance Committee. The Coalition on Human Needs' (CHN) new congressional district campaign is being implemented in six states. CHN affiliates, with the guidance of the national office, apprised its membership of congressional tax policy matters while reiterating support of progressive economic policies. In February, the Illinois Rainbow Coalition (the Coalition) held a tax Justice conference in Chicago and released its study, "Illinois Taxes: A Principle of Public Interest." The study examines the impact of taxes in Illinois; it was the basis for the conference sessions. The participants included prominent tax policy experts who called for a fair, progressive tax system. Following the presentations, the Coalition unanimously passed a statement of principles advocating tax fairness and denouncing regressive and inequitable revenue raisers, including excise taxes. The labor support groups' excise, tax studies continued to move forward last month. The draft of the study examining the impact of regressive taxes on working women will be available early March. Despite the author's increased involvement on other time- sensitive tax projects, work continues on this, and the other, research. In response to a request for Institute funding, we agreed to provide support to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) for the production of the group's new study on consumption. We also have agreed to support the promotion of the study (scheduled to be released in March). Specific activities will include media outreach, Hill briefings and monitoring press coverage. We are considering funding another effort to increase EPI's visibility on the issue of tax fairness. The project would involve the production of a Financial News~ Network (FNN) story and video news release (VNR) on EPI's 1989 report, "A Progressive Answer to the Federal Deficit." The FNNpiece would air several times in March; the VNRwould be transmitted once. Both the EPI consumption study and the FN~I story will help to lay the groundwork for future activity, such as a conference on economic policy and tax justice. Leadership for the New Century (LNC) submitted proposals requesting support for projects focusing on the health care financing issue; the projects are under consideration. The co m m'iAL: - TI31N

activities, new undertakings for 1990, would build on the group's past activities, e.g., the December 1988 tax policy conference, "Who Should Foot the Bill." Last month, we met with consultants to discuss the American Agriculture Movement's (AAM) priorities and project ideas for this year. Among AAM's interests is a media program that would be tied to both the 1990 Farm Bill and congressional budget discussions. The effort would constitute a new venture for AAM. AAM continued to disseminate the findings of its excise tax study, forwarding additional copies at the request of legislators from several states. AAMrepresentatives also attended the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture mid- year meeting, using the opportunity to follow up with the membership on theAAMtax study. With the New York tax situation heating up, AAMalso provided state legislators from rural districts with copies of its 1989 excise tax study. Another AAMpublication, the excise tax brochure, was sent to approximately 15,000 tobacco farmers in the Southeastern United States t/trough a special direct mail service. W~emet with State Activities staff and consultants to discuss I public affairs assistance in Montana. AAM has identified two I rural advocacy groups willing to provide assistance on taxes in I the state. We await SAD's comments before activating AAMto ~proach either group. The National Chamber Foundation (NCF) submitted a proposal for a study on taxation. The NCF would examine the inefficiency of excise taxes and explore alternatives to regressive excise taxes. After reviewing t_he proposal with economists, we offered recommendations on the project. A final determination will be made in March. ~The Texas Alliance on Human Needs in February implemented its ~"~ostcard" campaign to communicate the group's oppositlon to Ir~gressive taxes.

Tihe employers' guide for Rhode Island has been completed and is being reviewed by the Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce. Highlights Indoor Air Oualitv We continued to make progress in identifying and recruiting academiu researchers to participate in the scientific witness program. An additional eight scientists were contacted and began reviewing the ETS literature. TI consultants will follow up in March. Two Institute consultants conducted presentations at a session on health effects of environmental tobacco smoke held during the Toxicology Forum's Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C. Eight additional consultants attended the session and participated in the health effects debate. We received and reviewed several preliminary proposals from current academic experts to study the health effects of ETS, including proposals on confounding factors, meta analysis (the process of combining results of different investigations on a related topic to arrive at a summary result) and a general health effects review. Budgets and full proposals are scheduled for review in March. We received and reviewed a full proposal from Dr. Bernhardt Lieberman of the University of Pittsburgh to conduct a social scientific analysis of objectivity in ETS scientific research. A decision on Dr. Lieberman's proposal is expected next month. We continued to monitor EPA progress on the ETS risk assessment currently scheduled for Science Advisory Board review in May.

The letter notes that the DoT data demonstrate that a separate smoking section on board aircraft effectively eliminates nonsmoker exposure to ETS and points out a number of severe weaknesses in the study's risk assessment of ETS. TI staff and consultants completed revisions of three chapters of the ETS briefing book designed to encourage a better understanding of ETS research among science and health reporters. Tobacco Institute consultants participated in six ETS/indoor air quality conferences, including the Society of Toxicology annual meeting, the winter meeting of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Enginee~rs and the annual indoor air quality symposium sponsored byGeorgia Tech Research Institute. The National Energy Management Institute conducted an indoor air quality contractor training seminar in New York, bringing the total number of contractors trained this year to approximately 85. NEMI's Frank Powell conducted three media interviews in New York in connection with the seminar. NEMI and Healthy Buildings International scheduled an indoor air quality investigation for March at the national headquarters of the American Federation of Government Employees. NEMI continued working with representatives of the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) to develop a pro!~osal for a study of ventilation efficiency in office buildings. LMC representatives worked with American Federation of Government Employees District 14 and The Workplace Health Fund on an indoor air quality presentation to be featured during next month's worker health and safety conference in Washington, D.C. NEMI agreed to help support the conference, and NEMI's Frank Powell will conduct the IA~ workshop. Labor Management Committee representatives worked with field staff and United Food & Commercial Workers Local 3~4 in Buena Park, California, to schedule an indoor air quality investigation of a local union building. Concern about air quality in the building helped bring about introduction of smoking restriction legislation in the Buena Park City Council. Healthy Buildings International will conduct the IAQ test in March.

We developed a media plan t,o promote HBI's services in the northeast. Corporate ISmoker Assistance The Institute received approximately 60 requests for workplace assistance from both employers and managers during the month of February -- 17 management and 43 non-management requests. Region I [CT, ME, MA, NH, RI and VT] is th.~ latest target area for resource guide mailings. The following associations have agreed to mail resource guides to members. Resource guides were sent to these associations during February. They inolude: Wellesley Chamber of Commerce 500 ~ South Shore Chamber of Commerce 400 Associated Industries of Vermont i00 The South Shore Chamber of Commerce has also agreed to provide TI with additional namee from its mailing lis't -- 1,792. we anticipate mailing approximately 7,000 resource guides throughout Region I within the next several months. The Rhode Island employers' guide has been completed and is currently being reviewed by the Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce. Completion of the brochure is expected within the next two months. The New Hampshire Chamber of Commerc.e has withdrawn from sponsoring an employers' guide. Production has been placed on hold until field staff can secure a new sponsor for the guide. Plans have been made to prepare a procedure memorandum on the production of employers' guides. Such a memo will eliminate the potential for mistakes when the guides are rushed to print. We continue to receive our normal inquiries for information concerning smokers' rights in the workplace. Many of these referrals are from member companies.

Primary Responsibility: TBD Carol Hrycaj Overview The Health and Human Services' Smokin~ and Health report generated much attention in February, as the centerpiece of the report is the department's "social cost" estimates. Consulting economists were activated to develop a multi-level response to the claims. Elements of the social cost program, including the economic impact study and the earmarking book, continued to move forward. Highlights In February, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Louis Sullivan released HHS's report to Congress on smoking and health. The centerpiece of the report is the department's "social cost" calculations. We asked consulting economists to review and critique the document. Issue staff is working with media relations to examine how best to.allocate program resources to respond to these recent "social cost" claims. In lieu of the scheduled media tour program, the economists will participate in a variety of activities focused on the issue, e.g., writing op-eds and letters to the editor, and conducting an extensive analysis of the HHS economic models. The social cost media tour in February took Wagner to Louisville, Kentucky, to discuss ~mokin~ and the State and refute social cost arguments. Richard Wagner fielded many questions on the HHS "social cost" allegations and effectively challenged its figures. In advance of the tour, we provided Wagner with information on recent legislative developments in the state. "Last month, we reviewed and obtained legal clearance for the preface and five additional chapters of the treatise on earmarking taxes and "user fees."~ We await the remaining six draft chapters from the authors who report that there is much interest from several companies to publish the book. The production of the Price Waterhouse economic impact study and executive summary continued to move closer to completion. We are reviewing a blueline of the 200-page study and moving the executive study through the production process. We also will continue to work with media relations to develop materials that will be used during the planned media tours. In February, consultants provided analysis of proposed tax measures that justify tax hikes based on ,,social cost" arguments. CONFIDENTIAL: MINNESOTA TOBACCO LITIGATION 362742

Dick Wagner traveled to Hawaii to refute the social cost rationale used to support a tax measure in the state. We also discussed with State Activities a mailing of the social cost topic brochure to TAN activists. A target dateof March has been discussed. Public affairs staff will assist with the letter and help coordinate the mailing. "Debunking the Social Costs of Smoking," a new Institute publication, became available in February. The one-page document responds, point by point, to arguments that smokers are less productive and absent from work more often than nonsmokers, impose "costs" on society and should be taxed accordingly. We coordinated a distribution mailing of the piece to TI staff, member companies and other tobacco-related interests. After months of low visibility, the National Chamber Foundation's (NCF) Social Cost Council (the Council) began to gear up for action in 1990. The NCF released the study,. "Social Regulation: A Report Card," and the results of a Gallup poll mid-February. The NCF study examines the government's performance regulating consumer safety, working conditions and the environment. The accompanying poll reported that most people feel "government regulations make the United States less competitive internationally, are not worth their additional cost and benefit special interests." The NCF submitted a draft proposal for a journal of regulation and social cost. The publication would provide, in lay terms, information and commentary on a variety of "social cost" and regulatory issues. The intended audience includes congressional and federal officials, industry officials and journalists. We discussed the project with consultants and counsel, and offered recommendations on support. A final determination is expected early next month. We met with Bill Prendergast to clarify outstanding questions concerning the final draft of his social cost paper. (Final revisions to the piece await the conversion of the computer diskette to a version compatible with the new word processing system.) Meanwhile, we received and are reviewing a copy of the draft of the Prendergast executive s-mmary. As a follow up to last month's letter to Senator Simpson regarding the "social cost" concept, we worked with consultants to assess potential resources to communicate further on the issue. We await a decision on the approaches offered, and will activate resources as requested. Bob Tollison prepared a draft outline of a presentation that one would offer to a Member of Congress on the social cost issue. The document, currently under review, will be revised to include 362743 ~SOTA TOBACCO L~I6ATION

rebuttals to the HHS "cost" claims. A revised draft will be forwarded to federal relations for comment. We provided assistance with the preparation for a social cost issue briefing for a member company. This involved preparing remarks, compiling materials and reviewing the information with the speaker.

Media Relations '~,~b.a.laa.v~ 1990 page ~ Media coverage was extremely heavy. All major broadcast and print outlets attended, many leaving after Se~etaEy Sulliva~1's testimony. Tobacco Institute media relations staff was on hand to explain the indust~y's positions on the Kennedy bill, Dr. Sullivan's remarks about targeted advertising, and the HHS Repor~ claizLing $52 billion in annual "social costs" from smoking. TI conduced many interviews, In¢ludlng a 1lye appearance on the NBC Nightly News, Time Magazine, the Washln~on P~st, the T~mes, the Los Anoeles Times, United Press International, Associated Press and numerous other broadcast interviews around the co~mtrlr. Activities surrounding the airline smoking issue ranged from the Department of Transpor~ation's quiet release of its report on aircraft cabin air. quality to the imposition of the new six-hour ban. When the Department of Transportation sent its report to Congress, The Institute had a response ready in 30 minutes. The TI statement notes that ETS exposure levels found by the DoT .contractors are similar to levels reported in a number of earlier research reports. The TI statement also took issue with risk assessment estimates, calling them scientifically insupportable. The manner in which the DoT released its report generated little media interest. In faR, the report's findings on cosmic radiation received the vast majority of press attention. Based on the DoT's actions and the understanding that several Members would discuss the report the following wee~, The Institute distributed its release to major media Journalists who were likely to cover the issue. When, the following week, as expected, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Representative Richard Durbin (D-Ill) were joined by representatives of the Coalition on Smoking OR Health and the Association of Flight Attendants at a press conference heralding implementation of the airline smoking ban, it was clear that at least some members of the media recognized the event as more show than substance -- with at least one reporter indicating that his reading of the DoT report indicated vlrtually no difference in pollutant levels between nonsmoking flights and nonsmoking sections of smoking flights. Another reporter asked if legislators were concerned about economic losses in a smoke-free society. : ~ ~ ~ ~'~~' ~ '~;'~" " order in p~oduced a:~ ~-~,~ ...... ~t al. v. phil~p Co~t ~iie Noa CI- 3 CO~g~: ~OTA TOBACCO L~GATION

Media Relations February 1990 page 3 The implementation of the smoking ban caused another flurry of media activity. In order to assu~e that The Institute's comments were included in news stories on ~he implementation, The Institute produced and made available via satellite a two-mlnute video news release focusing on the DoT c~b~n a~ quality report. A full report of s~ation~ using these materials should be available in next month's activities report. Additionally, Institute media relations staff conducted more than 50 interviews on the issue, including ABC-TV, CBS-TV, Cable News Networkts Newsmaker Sunday and Headline News, PBS Nightly Business Report, the Washln~ton Post, New York Times, ~ Times and many other organizations in major and secondary cities. In place of "Tr~th Squad" media tou~s, Jack Peterson, Dave Weeks and Larry Holcomb have ~een conducting interviews on the publlcatlon of the repo~ from the ETS Symposium held at McGill University. A package of the promotional materials was distribute~ to national columnists and science and health repo~eEs at top I00 medlamarkets newspapers, followed by phone calls pitchlngpe~sonal interviews.

~rodu~£on 8e.~--vices Primary Responsibility: Anne Cannell Ove~-vievt The month of February was spent on Hearing Readiness. First, we had Senator Kennedy's hearing on the "Tobacco Education and Control Act of 1990,u S.1883. We were asked by Federal Relations to prepare briefing books. Staff wrote, input, cleared, and compiled several sets before the final version was completed. Then we were asked to do the same, but on a smaller scale, for Luken's hearing on the marketing practices of tobacco companies. We arranged for transcripts and videos of both events. Highlights ~ Before the Kennedy hearing we quickly designed a new logo and ' accompanying pieces for a proposed Tobacco Retailer Program. Comps were produced and reviewed, altered and resubmitted. A decision was made to put the project on. hold until after the ~ hearing. State Activities asked us to help them produce brochures and signs for Oregon on the point-of-purchase sale of cigarettes to minors. These were typeset in-house, printed and delivered within five working days. We completed several projects for one of our coalition groups, the Opportunities Industrialization Centers of America, Inc. (OICA's). They requested our help in producing and mailing out their Congressional Reception invitations. We xeroxed and mailed their monthly newsletter plus had a set of Congressional labels sent to them rush. The annual Legislative Report Year-End Snmmary, a three-volume set consisting of over i000 pages per set, was coordinated for reproduction. A target date for distribution was set for March 6th.

~I~ORI~TTON CENTE~ ~ENNTFER DOWDEN OVERVTEW The pace picked-up in the information Center during February. This was the month of the Kennedy-Luken hearings, the enactment of the airline smoking ban, the Uptown and Dakota publicity, the Virginia Slims tennis endorsement debate, as well as new staff appointments at CDC and HHS. The Information Center staff took training courses, visited with consultants, was visited by vendors, and made some changes with our computer capabilities so that we can provide more efficient and timely information to our users. HIG~LIGRTS The Information Center contributed to the background information needed for the Kennedy and Luken hearings with materials on budget items, grants, studies, biographies, bibliographic citations, and news coverage. This research is continuing. The searching for this information was coordinated with the research division at O&M. Traini.ng courses were taken in two of the newspaper data bases, Datatimes and VuText. This should help to keep down searching costs and time spent on line. It has been suggested that the Information Center provide more timely news information by subscribing to a national newswire. Jenny and I are researching the data bases we now subscribe to, to see if we may already have this service available. Jenny and I have been working with Data Processing to improve the software on our personal computers and to change the communications software that is now in use. This has provided us with computer tools that are designed for the work that we do. We are also working together to exterminate some of the "bugs" with Jenny's personal computer. I had lunch with Jamie Moeller and Jerry Johnson of O&M. This helped us to become familiar with what strengths and weaknesses both organizations may have when doing research. O&M has been particularly helpful with preparing for the hearings. The Associations Librarians group met at the United States League of Savings Institutions on February 28. Cary Sechneider, head librarian at the Congressional Quarterly and Fred Kelly of the Federal News Service spoke to us about little known sources of congressional information in Washington, D.C. It was a very enlightening meeting.
