In the near future, it is anticipated that approval will be sought for research proposals from Drs. Hans Weil and Jones in New Orleans, relating to public smoking in workplaces, and from Dr. Roger Bick in Los Angeles, relating to certain aspects of Becker's work and various blood factors..

These compensation expenses occur from time to time in connection with consultations with these scientists relating to questions that arise in various aspects of the smoking and health controversy. While there are no specific commitments other than above listed, it is likely that future periods will reflect payments to these or other scientists similar to those mad'e in the past. -3-
