F'OR' IMMEDIATE' USE'. July 1, 1974
Statement by Horace R. Korneqay,, president of
The Tobacco Inistitute, on the 1974 Health
Consequences of' Smoking, HEW report to
Congress released June 28, 19:74:
For the first time in these annual reports,, HEW seems to have
shifted„ at least slightl'y, from its usual one-sided presentation of
scientific evidence about smoking and health.
The cu_rrent document contains repeated references to t"studies
either partially or, wholly inconsistent" with the "'sca:entif'ic judgment"
e:cpressed a decade ago by an advisory comtnittee whose report on smoking
and heah th has been, until now, accepted by HEMJ' without qualification.
This certainly will be encouraging to the scientists,, members of
Congress and others who have recognizeathe inadequacies of'previousf reports.
On the other hand, by leaving the responsibility for drafting
the report in the hands of'the Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health,
whose mission is to propagandize against tobacco, the Department con-
tinues to produce a document misleading in important respects. Statino,
conclusions from research never intended:by its authors is jiust one
inescusable e_.*^ple.
However, because this'report does tend to admit that there are
unanswered questions about smoking,, we hope it will help stimulate the
researchso badly needed on the subject.
