I have had a considerable number of persoral h•,nors come my way this past year fromla variety of professional organizations, including the American College of Chest Physic;ans, the Anierican Thoracic Society, the American Heart Associatir~n and others. I have been forwarding such information on to Bi11 Shinn and to Horace Kornegay, for whatever interest it is to our industry sponsors. I personally feel that this kind of recognition for those members of our indlustry-sponsored'Tobaccc and Health Research Program at Harvard, is, in many ways, one of tl,.e best expressions of acceptance of our efforts. Although I al.~•,a~ s want to leave the final judgment to my piers in the scientificc c,-mmuni'ty, I deeply believe in the commitment of our efforts to~-ar•''s resolving conflict and developing truth through good research in this most controversial area. To date, and I hope always in the f uturl-, our prodtiictivity has afirmed that personal commitment, an&I t>;i? 1 continue to mal.e every effort I can to~maintain the respect of our sponsors in the industry for good research, and the acceptance of our results by professional organizations on the basis of gov_l science. Thank you again for your note. I hope al l is goinig well with you, and from everything I have heard your opcration seems to have been successful. I am pleased for you inlever;- way. My warmest per-onal re,,;ard:s, GLH/hcb Gary L. Htib~sr, M.D., Chief Division (-.f i:c^.piratory Discases
