S. A. 110 East 59th Street Ne.w York, New York 10022 Dear Vincent: Enclosed is a draft of an Agreement between the Council for To- bacco Research-U.S.A, and Bio-Research Consultants, Inc. for inhalation studies in Syrian han3sters which now incorporates all of the points we discuased. ' The quarterly payments in advance, with expenditure reports sub- mitted within thirty days after the end of sacb auarter, is the best method under which we are accustomed to operate. Monthly bill- ings, as is the case with government ccntsacts, increase overhead expenses and appear to have no advantage to CTR. Hence, we sug- gest careful consideration of the quarterly metbod. This type of contract, which covers a study involving considerable expense and time before any results becomo available, requires a clause assnring continuity to protect the client. UAder any other arrangement, we Would be free to cancel this contract before the study was completed. it is hoped that your lawyers will be con- vinced of the need for such a clause, which is acceptable to us, thoush you must realize that this contract allowe very little margin for profit, We hope that a final version of this Agreement c.'an be agreed upon in time to commence work in January 1970. Yours sincerely, / :P'Coz-~4 - reddy Homburg r, M. D. _ FH:er psesideat and Flirector CTR CONTRACTS OOS593 11225334 c"rR NN 042300
