C THE TOBACCO INSTITUTE 1776 K STREET, NORTHWESTLWASHINGTON;,D.C. 20006 202/457-4800 OUR TOLL FREE NUMBER IS: 800/424-9876 .:.~ MARVIN A. KASTENBAUM Director of Statistics 202/45/-4850 7 February 22, 1979 Arthur J. Stevens, Esquire Vice President & General Ceunsel Lorillard 666 Fifth Avenue New York, New York 10019 IN Dear Art: The attached statement by Bill Kloepfer resulted from a memo I dictated to his secretary on the publication date of the article by Friedman, et al in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled "Mortality in Middle-Aged Smokers and Nonsmokers". Your inquiry of February 9 deals with this paper. I did only a cursory review of the article because Dr. Carl Seltzer had'been integrally involved with this study from its inception. Seltzer's first communication with the editor of the NEJM is in the form of a request for time to draft an adequate response. I enclose a copy of Seltzer's petition to the editor. I also know that Dr. Alvan Feinstein has been~involved in this study. He and Seltzer have been in touch, but I do not know the substance of their discussions. If you need any more specific information please let me know. Sincerely, Marvin~A. Kastenbaum, Ph.D. MAK: yb Enclosures
