Califano, Jr. Secretary Health, Education and Welfare Washington, D. C. 20201 Dear Joe: Never having smoked I find it easy to urge others not to. Nbtwithstanding, I want to d'o everything possible to assist you in bringing the "message" to the public via our stations. I don't know whether you recall, but Group W took tobacco ad!vertising off the air over a year before the governme.ntal ban. I must confes s, however, I think there are other areas which are at least as serious as the smoking problem. Alcoholism in America today has reached 11 million adults and over I million children between the ages of 9 and 12. Half of the automobile accidents are traced to individuals having consumed alcohol a short time before. I was a member of a task force with Governor West of South Ca:rolina having to do with this subject, and we came up with a new approach in this regard which was presented to President Carter a few months ago, a copy of which I'm enclosing. This is the case of "pitching the pitcher" and I know you have a number of important causes but I can't help but bring this to your attention.
