J UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH EARL WARREN HALL BERKELEY 4, CALIFORNIA i iay 14, 1964 T~'ir. George V. Allen President & Executive Director The Tobacco Institute, Inc. 808 Seventeenth Street, N.W. Tr,rashington 6, D.C. 'Dear Mr. Allen: This is in reply to your letter of *ray 1, 106L, requesting a copy of the basic communication Mr. M-anos and I sent to tYe Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service regard- ing smoking as an important variable in studies of pulmonary disease in occupational groups. At the time the report was being developed, I was with the Div- ision of Occupational Health of the Public Health Service. T~Ie vere asked to supply the com7r,ittee with examples of studies of pulmonary disease, other than malignancy, in occupational groups in which cig- arette smoking had been regardedd as a major variable. I am not sure that the draft in my file here at the University is the final one subnatted; I do knov that because it overlapped material being supplied by other contributors, only certain portions v7ere included irr the final Comsnittee Report. Because Mr. ?41anos was responsible for the statistical portions of the review quotedd and because I know he has studied further the data from metal miners quoted onn page 299, I have forwarded my only copy of the draft report to him. I wanted tc be sure that there are no later or revised drafts available in his file and that he has no comments, based on more detailed analysis, to add to the quotation attributed to us. You will doubtless be hearing soon from yr. Manos; he is now with the Heart Disease Control Branch of the Division of Chronic Tiseases of the U.S. Public Health Service in Washington. Sincerel .yours, Z W. Clark Cooper, M!D. Research Physician Occupational Medicine Tr'CC: d cc: Mr. Manos
