have taken in recent months and what you are planning to do

AMA news release reporting on three years of research
sponsored by Project for Research on Tobacco and Health
of the AMA-Education and Research Foundation: (i) "The
best estimates of clinicians and scientists in the field is that
cigarettes are a health hazard. But they admit they don't
have the scientific data yet to establish why and how. " (2)
AMA delegates "made it clear they did not think" the 1964
Surgeon GeneralTs Report "could stand alone, " but "needed
facts to back it up, " (3) Acknowledgment of the tobacco
industry's $10,000,000 grant in support of the program.
{4) Comments by Dr. Mauriee Scorers, Chairman of the
Committee (and a member of the 1964 Surgeon General's
Advisory Committee): "While the medical profession and
tobacco industry t~ave somewhat divergent reasons for
promoting tobacco research, both are committed to basic
scientific research as the best means of developing scientific
answers to questions raised by our smoking population. "
"Certainly there are no scientific data that would contradict
the basic tenets of the Surgeon General's Report... I believe
very few, if any, of the scientists working under this pro-
gram would advise anyone to smoke. Still we hope that in
search for facts, we can retain an open mind.
President Johnson's announcement that he would nominate
Paul Rand Dixon to a second seven-year term as Chairman

John F. Banzhaf III filed petition in the U. S, Court of
Appeals in Washington, D. C. , claiming June 2 ruling of

York lawyer whose original complaint against cigarette
eomrnercials on WCBS-TV led to FCC order applying
"Fairness Doctrine" to cigarette ads on TV and radio.
His latest move was seen by Advertising Age as bein~ an
"outflanking maneuver" against petition filed by NAB and
WTRF-TV, Wheeling, W. Vs., in tile U.S. Court of
Appeals, in Richmond, Vs., to throw out FCC ruling.
