g~ 4 q October 28, 1980 Dr. M, R. Guerin Analytical ChemiBtry Division Oak Ridge Nation~l Laboratory Oak Ridge, Tennessee ~7530 Dear Mike, I recently received a copy of your Topical Report, dated October 13, 19gO, Listed therein were results from various anslyses made on samples of BARCLAY cigarettes. I was surp=ised to see the somewhat high values recorded for "~ar" ~nd other related sn~ke components. We con- sistently measure the smoke from production BAgCLAY at or below tBe advertised values when using the standard FTC proceaure. If you plan any further testing with BARCLAY cigarettes, we would be pleased to have any of your people contact our Jim Nail, Division Head of T~ehnieal Services~ to effec~ a comparison o~ procedures and critical items. Indeed, I might suggest value in Jim visiting your group when you next schedule testing. He could bring w~th him current ~rod~ctlo~ ~a~glee ~fbARCLAY ~i~arettes £er testing which would p~ovide a cross check between laboratories. We welcome opportunities to cross compare OUr results as we mus~ 6eel with close control on a daily basis. Best ~e~ards, ~A ~D
