In addition, we have strengthened our ties in this area w:th

cult problems.
We are compet:nq against the machinery and author_ty c_ the
qover: -er.t, which seems to have u:!i.Lted fu-.ds, t.~e volti::.:ary
healt.`, agencies, medical and scientific groups, and a hcst c= I-:er-
aqency Councils throughout thecount_-y, on a state and loca: level.
All of these qzoups are engaging, jointly and independe:::y, in
propaganda programs against smoking.
Ar:other proble:a is the populir:ty of anti-smoking a:--cnc ce::a:n
doctors a.nd scientists, and among certa_n influential poli::c:a-s.

We also face a sit::ation in whicti much of the c=:.a.:.nica::or.s
media appears to have accepted the char;es arai:st smoking.
Finally, we a:: icncw that char:es get more attention than the
rebuttal. es=ec:a::y when t.`:e reb_t:al cannot be a flat den:al.
This makes it fairly easy fcr critics to get the headlines
when they make new charges aSainst smok::.y, and diff:cult to get
attention to the doubts and quest:or.s about the c`:arges.
We can expect a continuation of these ant:smokinc act:v:t:es,
with even greater erarhasis on state and local levels.
During the past year, we have made sor.e progress in :`:s a:ea.
8ut we must do more.
First, it is vitally important that the industry s: eak out
more often, t~-.rough individuals and t.`ucugh printed materia:s. We
must speak out :n Washington, in Hew York, and in other parts of the
country. The program reco:amendations subnitted are designed to `:e::
make this possible.
