My name is 1241 Ron Motley from Charleston, South Carolina. Have [zs, you ever given a deposition before? A: No. Q: I would ask you to listen carefully to the questions, and if you do not understand the questions, just let me know and I'll try to rephrase it. I would also ask you to speak as loudly as you possibly can. Have you ever received a subpoena to be here today for this deposition?

(,) A: First at the Max Planck Institute in m Germany, and biochemistry at Princeton University, pl and then ultimately at Sloan-Kettering Institute (.1 for Cancer Research in NewYork City. lsl Q: Sloan-Kettering is a name that may be (s( known to some of the jurors and the Court. Can m you telll a little bit about Sloan-Kettering and (el why you went there? tsl A: Sloan-Kettering, when I was there, was (+o( one of the areas or institutions where a lot of (I+( research was done for cancer research.And I was (+z( fortunate to receive an appointment to work in an (+31 area that was relatively new for me, but it was (1.l the study of chemicals and how they might be (+sI responsible for causing cancer. (1s1 This is back in the early '70s, when (171 much of our knowledge was just beginning to (1a1 emerge, and folks with training, scientists with (isl training in biochemistry and microbiology were (201 being drawn into this field to study how mi substances might be causing cancer in people. = 0: Did you considcr this somewhat of an ml honor, to be selected to go to a cancer center (z41 with the prestige of Sloan-Kettering?

State of Florida v. Carol J. Henry, Ph.D. American Tobacco Company, et aL July 31, 1997 t,l 0: What year was that, ma'am? (zt A: I think it was 1974 that I ended up at pi Sloan-Kettering.This is a long time ago, and (41 it's hard to always remember back then. But I (si think that was in 1974. (st 0: Are you a member of the American m College of Toxicology? [a] A: I am. (9] Q: And what is that organization? (+ot A: It is a professional society of (+It scientists who practice the field of toxicology. (,2) Toxicology is the study of- the scientific study r3t of poisons or substances that can cause reactions (+4t in people. t+st 0: And you are a diplomate in the t+sl American Board ofToxicology? pi A: Yes. (181 0: How did you become that? (+st A: Again, back in the 70s there was a rzot desire and need for scientists who practiced (z+t toxicology to be certified that their training and (zs( expertise had been shown to measure up to certain (z3t standards. Rd1 And in fact one has to sit for an exam (zs1 of two or three days' duration, and you are Page 13 i (,t A: Three years. (zt 0: Three years.And when I call you (at Dr. Henry, so that it's clear, you're not a (4i medical doctor? (sl A: No, I am not. I am a research - a (st doctor of philosophy. m Q: And you have specialized at least (at since the early '70s at one time in the study of (sn the cause of cancer? (,o1 A: Yes. (++1 Q: Doctor, did there come a time when you (+zt received as pan of your employment a contract (t31 from an organization called the Council for r4t Tobacco Research to study how cigarettes cause (+sl disease in humans? (,st A: There was a contract with an t+rl organization called Microbiological Associates, a (+at company that performs research under contract for (,g) both private sector and public organizations. I(zo) The contract was in place when I was R+I hired by Microbiological Associates to be a rrm project director under the contract that was in tml existence with Micro. j(z4) 0: What year was that, ma'am, that you 1(zst joincd Microbiological Associates? Page 15 Page 14 (+t recertified every five years that your knowledge (z1 is current and acceptable. ;3t 0: And you've been a diplomate of the (<( American Board of Toxicology since what year? (s) A: I think it was 1985, '83 or '85, (sl someplace back then. m 0: What is your present occupation? [a] A: I am the director of health and (sj environmental sciences for the American Petroleum (+oi Institute, a trade association of the petroleum pq industry for the United States. (+z; Q: And have you served in any capacity (+at with the United States Government? (+at A: I have. In M ay I left my position as l+sl Associate DeputyAssistant Secretary for Science 1161 and Technology in the Office of Ervironmental (,r, Management in the Department of Energy. r+s: That very long ticle is - describes a pg: posiuon I held in the Departmcnt of Energy for ;zc: the office that's concerned about cleaning up and ;z+: stabilizing the nuclear waste and contamination [zr, from the former activities of the United States e2s: performed in making and producing nuclear weapons. (z:; 0: And how long did you hold that (zsi position, Doctor? A. Wm. Roberts, Jr. & Assoc. i t+1 A: 1976. ~ m 0: And just briefly, I think you may have t3i already answered this, but just so the answer is (41 clear, Microbiological Associates is a research (sl organization, private? j(s1 A: It's a private but a for-profit m company that performs research and testing for (sl clients worldwide. (s) At that time they held contracts both I(+ot from the United States Government as well as from I(++1 other private sector organizations that were (+zt interested in research on a variety of areas, but (,3t ccrtainly understanding environmental chemicals or (+41 other substances and the potential toxic effects (,st of those substances. (+s( 0: What caused you to go to work for (,7l Microbiological Associates? (+e) A: During some of the work that I was (,st doing at Sloan-Kettering - and at the time one of Ipo) the major issues was using a chemical called rz+t benzo(a)pyrene.This is something called a (zzl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is produced p3t through combustion, meaning when you burn 1241 materials, benzo(a)pyrene is produced.You are (2sl able to also synthesize it.

~ C;arol J. Henry, Ph.D. State of Florida v. July 31, 1997 American Tobacco Compaak, et aL Page 17 pt It was being used as not only a model tzl chemical but as a chemical to test how this 131 might - how carcinogenesis rnight develop, because t<1 bcnzo(a)pyrcne was thought to be responsible for tsl some of these issues. [s1 One of the emerging sets of knowledge tn was that substances like benzo(a)pyrene required tai to be changed before it was actually really toxic [9t or potentially could cause cancer.And those tlol changes could occur by enzymes that are present in t++l all of us. 1121 Dr. Kouri and his colleagues at Micro t1a1 had done some of the very early and important work 1141 to show that these enzyme systems could what's tast called activate these chemicals to be znore closely t,st aligned with those chemicals that might cause tnl cancer. t1e1 What I was very attracted to Micro (191 about is that at the time much of the emphasis in izoi obtaining enzymes was from liver systems, and tz,l Micro offered the opportunity to really look at tzzt lung systems and a variety of other tissues to tzal really understand how this might work. 1241 Benzo(a)pyrene is present in air, it's 1251 present in tobacco smoke, it's present in many Page 18 tIl substances that arc burned. M MR. ALDEN: Move to strike the t31 narrative as nonresponsive to the question. 141 BY MR. MOTLEY: ls~ 0: Doctor, you took the opportunity then 161 to study bcnzo(a)pyrene as it affects, among other m things, the lungs? lel A: I did. [st Q: And the contract that was in place l,q with NlicrobiologicalAssociatcs was funded by what [++1 organization? (1z1 A: The Council for Tobacco Research. 1131 0: What was your responsibility in regard (.) to the contract between the Council forTobacco 1151 Research and Microbiological Associates? 11e) A: My responsibilities changed during the (171 time I R-as there. But what I ultimately ended up l,al doing nas being the project dircctor for the osi inhalation facility that was under development 120l when I arrived, and which was completed during my R11 time there. Rq 0: When you say "inhalation facility," (r31 please describe what that means to the Court and lzal the jurv. t2st A: One of the remarkable accomplishments t,l that this contract allowed was the development of m a stateTof the-art facility where materials that I t31 can be both aerosolized or in tobacco smoke could [•1 be delivered to animals in a way that was natural ~[sl in how the animals would breathe in materials. i ~ 161 And this required - so that it was m done reproducibly and rigorously, required the [at development of a facility that had many ~(57 engineering designs to it, so that it was done in ~ t+ot a very reproducible and responsible way. t>>l So the inhalation facility both housed t1zt the animals, had stateof-the-an equipment that n3t would generate smoke, cigarette smoke, as well as ti.l monitor the smoke. t+st 0: Did you believe that the work you were [+sl doing was important to the public health of this (171 country? (181 A: I did. ~1191 MR. ALDEN: Objection. Leading. tzol MR. MOTLEY: Excuse me one second. tz+t You're not allowed to make any objections in tzrt Texas. If you all want to preserve your tnl objections - 124) MR. ALDEN: Aren't we in Florida? tzsl MR. MAHER: Only as to form. ~ i MR. MOTLEY: What I was going to I m suggest is we adopt the Texas rule, and you can I r3l raise your objections at trial. Or I'll ask my II 141 Texas colleagues how they wish to handle this, tsl because any objection other than privilege is a 161 violation of the standing order in the Eastern m District ofTcxas. 161 MR. REAUD: I would suggest you all (9; agree they would not waive objections in Florida tlot if we follow the Texas rules. t„l MR. ALDEN: Can we have one minute to t,zt talk about that? 113) THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're going off the 11.t record.The time is 10:24 a.m. (151 (Discussion off the record.) (,st MR.

[ai MR. MOTLEY: Thank you very much. (e) BY MR. MOTLEY: 1101 Q: We just saved a lot of time, so you t,+t know. [12l A: Okay. 1+31 Q: Dr. Henry, so the jury will better t+41 understand, when you say an inhalation study and t,si animals and cigarette smoke, will you tie that all t,si together for us and explain how those studies are t+71 conducted? (,s1 A: Based on the issues that I had studied t,e; at Sloan-Ketteting and the importance of looking [zo] at chemicals that were present in the environment t2+t and of concern for public health issues such as w cancer, the position at Microbiological Associates rnt attracted me because I would be able to look at [24t such substances not only in the laboratory and in tzs[ vitro systems, but the inhalation facility - the Page 21 Page 23 [It smoke, because there are so many chemicals both in m the particulate and the gas phase, that the t3t animals are quite sensitive to nicotine. Nicotine 141 is a poison, it's actually used as a poison. [5-1 What we had to do was adapt or I tst habituate the animals to smoke so that they would m be able to tolerate the smoke and we could [si continue with the experiments. But this was a tei challenge. Different kinds of animals respond I t,ot differently to different doses of nicotine. [++l 0: Did you observe any changes in the [+2l animals' lungs shortly after they breathed the t+31 cigarette smoke? [14t A: Yes. t+sl 0: Would you describe that, please? i[,st A: The animals - it was rather p7l astonishing that even after very short exposures I[tet to cigarette smoke, that we could never hide from I[+st people which animals had been exposcd.The lungs ~pol on animals that are not exposed to smoke arc pink Irz+t and very clean looking. iwt And after a short amount of exposure, jrzi1 the lungs on visible examination had black flecks ~tz4t in it and were slightly brown, so that it was ~Rs7 clear that these lungs were different from the Page 22 ~ * inhalation facility was built so that we could m expose animals to cigarette smoke in a more t3; natural way. [4) This was very important, and there tst were not very many facilities like this available. [s; 0: And would you describe how the m inhalation chamber was configured? [a: A: We actually published a paper t3: describing the facility that required the t,o; collaboration of engineers in Brooklyn, engineers [1+! at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (12; And the cigarette smoke was generated [131 in ways that we assessed was as close to the way [1dJ humans smoke, and being fresh, whole tobacco smoke t,s; delivered to the animals as closely as we could to 116; how - so that there is an issue of how long n'; cigarette smoke is generated before it something [+a: called ages and changes its configuration, changes [+9l its particle size. tz~: All that was taken into account so we ,2-; could u•}• and attempt to deliver in a reproducible 122: n•ay the cigarette smoke. particulates and gas [23; phase, to the animals.

(m After or subsequently and at the same time we then (z,] identified researchers who could assist us in rrz] looking at those pieces. (za] So Dr. Kreisher was helpful in (z<] approaching other researchers so that we would (zs] have a whole group of people working on this, (Il together with Micro's inhalation facility being m the place where the animals were exposed and the [ai tissues from those animals were generated, and (a1 then we would send them out for research on these (s] issues, trying to understand the biologic activity (61 that cigarette smoke might have. m Q: Now, you've used the word [e] "carcinogenesis" several times, if I pronounce 191 that correctly.What does that mean? (1o1 A: Carcinogenesis is the process by which (++] cells become malignant, become cancerous. It's (i2] been studied for a long time, and we know that (1s1 there's a process of the cells changing and v•1 essentially losing their control and being able to (+si spread and invade other tissues and eventually (1s1 kill people. (+71 MR. MOTLEY: Would you mark this as pal Exhibit 1, please. 1+9( (Henry Deposition Exhibit Number 1 was (zol marked for identification.) (21] BY MR. MOTLEY: rni 0: Dr. Henry, I asked you earlier if you (z31 had met with me and my partners, Ms. Nial and (2a( Mr. McConnell, before.And I believe you said you as] had.

(s] A: I was contacted I think last summer by (s] either Mr. Scheiner or some of his associates, who p] informed me that I had been named in some of these (8] cases. Is] Q: Named as a witness? (,a] A: Yes. (1+1 0: Mr. Scheiner being the lawyer for (+z] Council forTobacco Research? (,31 A: Yes. (14] 0: Who is seated here today? (+s7 A: Yes. It's the first time I'vc met (+s1 him. (+7] Q: You've talked to him before? (,a] A: Yes. (+s1 Q: Now, I'm going to hand you Exhibit 1, ~(20] and I would ask you to show this to the camera. (z,] It's very complicated, and I'm not going to even (zz] ask you to pronounce the words on it, but I want (za] you to tell the jury what this is that I've just lz.l handed you, Exhibit 1. IRS) Page 26 i I (++1 A: Well, it is complicated, and it's Page 28 (+] complicated because cancer is a complex process. mAnd the body has many systems in which to try and t3] avoid having cancer develop.And what we're (.1 trying to understand and still trying to (s] understand is all the pieces and elements that ts1 might go into causing cancer to change. M And what these various arrows show is (e] what we postulated as being the elements that we (e] could study using the mouse as an animal model and understanding this a little bit better. In fact what astonishes me is that (iz] this chart, the elements in this chart, while (+3] developed many years ago, have essentially not (,a1 changed. In at least my understanding of this, (,s] we've refined, we've added information, but this I(+s] process of where one would go for the development pn of cancer is still fairly valid. (+e] 0: When you say "we," who is "we"? (,s1 A: Dr. - it says down here, or maybe rm] someplace - we published this in a volume trying (zi( to use this as a framework for us to think about. (zz( It was Dr. Kouri, Dr. Kreisher and I developed !zm this chart. (zq 0: Was Dr. Kouri from your experience a (zsl responsible scientist) Min-U-Scripto A. Wm. Roberts, Jr. & Assoc.
