SAMPLE LETTER "B°"
January 27, 1983
Dear
In recent weeks and months, a number of airlines have been urged
to ban smoking,entirely on up to a third of their domestic
flights. The group making this request,, "Action on Smoking and
Health" and its leader, John Banzhaf, are:using airline
stockholder meetings as their forum.
It should come as no surprise that I personally, and (company)
corporately oppose such:restrictio.ns.
Moreover, we continue to find a gpod number of airline executivesc unsympathetic to requests which
have such profounde
negative
marketing and!operational ramifications.
Oiur two industries have workediclosely and successfully opposing
federal interference inithis area. As we face what may be a new
round of challenges, I would like:to pledge my personal support
and! that of my company's as ( a!irLine ) considers the issue.
If we can be of help, please!call. In the meantime, I have takenn
the liberty of asking,The TobaccolInstitute, our representatives
in Washington, to contact your corporate relations staff to
disc;uss the prospee:t of cuuperative actiuLi.
Sincerely,
