Q. Did you discuss the other parts also?
A. In part 2 I discussed that cigarettes
started fires, the way in which there is a cigarette
cigarettes patents, numerous patents, for cigarettes
that h~ve a propensity to self-extinguish, but that
they have not been approved by the Congress and
2,300 people a year died in fires started by
cigarettes and there is X amount of property damage

We talked about -- I outlined the scenario whereby
the idea was that there are numerous ways now to
advertise cigarettes as opposed to the old days when
Santa Clause would talk about Lucky Strikes and how
doctors would promote Camels as being easy on their
throat.
Times have changed• Cigarettes are no
longer able to be advertised on television. 8o,
there is a new -- some new techniques that have had
to develop, some new forms of advertising, new media
to accommodate the elimination of a medium, being
television, and to accommodate the perception among
people that cigarettes are hazardous to your health
and discussed ways in which the i~dustry goes about
it.
And I said that we had a Federal
Government report that talked about various
strategies to advertise particular brands and a
campaign to get starters.
Q. Have you completed your answer?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you say that the FTC report mentioned
sophisticated tactics to induce young people to
smoke? DO you recall saying that?

of Viceroy during that time.
And he said -- and I asked him for the
footnoted documents that are cited by the FTC.
Q. If you had already seen examples of
cigarette advertising, including Viceroy advertising
why did you need examples of ads which were

A. Representative of the ads during that time
period that the Viceroy strategy was allegedly --

p~ragr~ph on th~ page to the effect that "Brown &
Williamson documents indicate that ~he c~mpany
believed that Fact cigarette were a new product
~hich r~d~ed the amount of harmful gas in the
cigarette smoke inhaled by the consumer. Therefore,
Fact was initially advertised as a brand with the
u~ique ability to filter certain gases. However,
initial sales of Fact were not considered satisfactor
by Brown & Williamson, so in 1977 it temporarily
halted all advertising and promotion of tbe
cigarette while it developed a new market strategy."
Then I turned to Page 2-23 to point out
the proposed weakness of the strategy, that the
strategy assumed that "gas will become a major
health issue. To ensure it becomes an issue will
require an educational approach in introductory
advertising. It is questionable whether any cigarett
manufacturer should be publicizing a new health
hazard for cigarette smokers. The desire to avoid
spelling out the gas haza:d in advertising could
severely weaken the effectiveness of this approach-"
Then I skipped down to the middle of Page
2-23, reading this next paragraph afterwards-
"Ultimately, Brown & Williamso~ documents indicate

that it elected not to educate the public about the
health hazards associated with the gases in
cigarette smoke and not to focus the Fact ad
campaign on the low gas issue."
And then I cited the marketing strategy
summary here on 2-23. "Until the problem of gas
becomes public knowledge through government
investigation or media coverage, a low gas benefit
will remain of little strategic value."
And then I skipped down ~o .that other
paragraph on the bottom Of the page. "We do not
support the definition in advertising of the problem
of gas in order to specifically communicate its
consumer benefit and distinguishing it from low tar.
To supply such definition would require overt
references to the alleged ciliatoxic and
cardiovascular ill effects of smoking." And I
didn't read all of that to him.
And then I asked him to skip to the last
paragraph on Page 2-24, saying, "Thus, despite the
potential market advantages it might have obtained
over i~s competitors by advertising the unique gas
filtration system of Pact cigarettes, Brown &
Williamson chose not to 4o so in order to avoid

Q. I see on Exhibit 5 on Page 2-23 and Page
2-24 there are marginal notes saying "read" next to
certain paragraphs.
Did those indicate that you had decided to
read those paragraphs to a Brown & Williamson
spokesman?
MR. KLENK: Objection. You asked him this the
first or second day of the deposition, what those
were intended to do. YOU are going over the same
ground.

A. Yes.
Q. When you said to him that it sounded like
a threat, did he say anything in response?
A. I can't recall exactly, but it was an
attempt to be -- it was an attempt that followed
there to be friendlier. "We are good guys out here"
was, I think, the idea that he was communicating to
me.
And I had asked him for the ads and the
accompanying footnotes.

advertising on television had
become off limits to the cigarette industry. Santa
Claus and doctors proclaiming that Lucky Strikes are
easy on their throats didn't make it as an
advertising strategy during the 1980s, given the
fact that the health controversy had been as strong
as it was, as great as it was. Therefore, Madison
Avenue had itself a challenge in developing new ways
to advertise cigarettes.

followed this and what followed that. That*s not

Q. ~'m not going to limit th~ questions then,
except if I indicate to the contraryt to exactly
what followed when.
Did you get an understanding from Mr.
Jacobson during this third conversation regarding
the advertising Perspective as to why he chose not
to include the Cool matter in the broadcast?
MR. KLENK: Objection. Understanding is
irrelevant. He can testify to what Jacobson told
him Or might have told him or didn't tell him.
MR. CLAYTON: I think his understanding is
relevant. I'll first ask him what Jacobson said,
but then I want to know if he has an understanding.
I think it's relevant; and, secondlyr I
think it also leads to relevant evidence, because
often when be vocalizes his understanding, it helps
him to focus on what that und~rs%anding was based on.
BY ~R. CLAYTOn:
Q. So I'll first ask yo~: What was said by
you and said by Mr. Jacobson on the question of the
noninclusion of Cool?

and I don't believe I got an answer.
Q. Were you disappointed that he hadn't

A. I wouldn't refer to it as disappointment.
I though% it was a worthy element to include.
Q. Did you ever receive any more information
as to why he didn't include Cool in the broadcast?
A. No.
Q. What about Fact, was that discussed at all
in this third conversation?
A. Yes.
Q. What happened there?
A. I asked him why he wasn't
either. And at that point he said,
including that,
you know, I've
got so much material,and so many elements regarding
advertising, clout, cigarettes, I've got to draw the
line on some of these things, was basically the
conclusion I got.
Q. Did he indicate in any way why he thought
the Viceroy statements ought to be included instead
of the Cool or Fact statements?
A. NO.

he had made that decision?

A. We had -- that we had cut out, as I had
testified earlier, we had cut out the Viceroy logo.
Q. Cut OUt, meaning you had taken an ad and
scissored out a portion of it?
A. Correct. And he had stated that he wanted
~o know if we had the ads that were mentioned in the
strategy, and I said I asked the company for them
and they didn't send them to me. And I asked for
the documents s~pporting those ads and that strategy,
and they didn't send them to me.
Q. Did you say anything else on the question
of the Viceroy ~ds?
A. NO, not that I recall.
Did he say anything else on the question
of the Viceroy ads?

A. Not other than what he wrote.
Q. Was he looking at a draft of the
Perspective as he was talking to you?
A. He was looking at the FTC report,
something that was in his typewriter. I don't
recall all the things he was looking at at the time.
Q. Well, when you said he didn't maWe any
reference other than what he wrote, what do you mean
by other than what he wrote? Where did he write it?
A. On his typewriter.
Q. SQ he had a piece of paper in his
typewriter, which was before you during this
conversation,which had a mention of the pot, wine
beer and sex strategy?
A. And he had also typed up a list of fonts
that included some of the strategy that he would
hand over to me for me to ship over to the people
who enter those things into computers.

BY MR. CLAYTON:
Q. And what did he say in response?
A. I don't recall.
Q. Do you recall anything else regarding
Brown & Williamson or Viceroy that was said in these
conversations?
A. I asked him why he didn't mention the fact
that the company maintains that the advertising
agency was dismissed and that the company never
adopted the strategy.
Q. What did he say to that?
A. He said he didn't plan to include the
names of ad agencies, the names of cigarette
companies. He was just concerned with the names of
products, and that he did mention the fact that the
cigarette industry claims -- in fact, swears up and
down it doesn't sell cigarettes to children.

BY MR. CLAYTON:
Q- This is the content of the third March
broadcast.
A. Okay.
Q. I believe. I think that this is
sufficien£.
A. Okay.
Q. The question is whether this refreshes
your recollection as to the content of the third of
the March broadcasts.
A. Right.
Q. And with your recollection refreshed, can
you tell us how you and Mr. Capuso went about
choosing the section of the Jacobson broadcast which
appeared in that third broadcast?
A. TO my recollection, the point that Walker
Merryman took greatest issue with or the point that
he was most interested in making was the point about
advertising not making a smoker Out of a nonsmoker.
And I will read his remark there. "It
encourages people who already smoke to switch brand
loyalty or to maintain their brand loyalty, and
there are any number of academic studies on this

question, not one of which, by the way, says that
cigarette advertising makes kids into smokers or
even makes adults into smokers. It was aimed at the
person who is already the smoke~."
NOW, we made the determination that that
was an important point that he wanted to make. In
putting this in the context of our story for
broadcast, we thought it was important to place his
comments in some kind of context that the viewer
' could relate to, a viewer could identify with, so
that there was some kind of, as I say, context for
understanding where these remarks were coming from.
SO, we chose to juxtapose that against the
points that Walter made in the segment that precedes
the sound from Walker Merryman. And that's the way
we went about doing the entire broadcast.
The reason for what we did is so that they
would be properly juxtaposed, that they would match
in some kind of news context.
Q. Did you have any discussion with Mr.
Caputo as to why this particular portion of the
Jacobson broadcast matched Mr. Merryman' s statements?
A. Mr. Merryman talks about advertising
having never made a smoker of a nonsmoker, that it

encourages people of who already smoke to switch

It is not -- or there are studies that
suggest it is not -- that cigarette advertising does
not make kids into smokers Or even make adults into
smokers, that seemed to me and to Caputo to be in
line with what we selected from the Jacobson
Perspective.
Q. DO you know if the Merryman interview was
ever aired on WBBM without an accompanying, portion
of the Jacobson Perspective?
A. I don't know. I doubt it.
Q. Do you remember anything else with respect
to this session with Mr. Caputo?
A. No.
Q. Was the preparation of the March broadcast
completed at the end of this session, or was there
additional work on it?
