commercial or competitive affairs of its members and confines its activities to
areas in which TI and its members have common legal interests. Among the
functions TI performs as a trade association is monitoring and analyzing public
affairs issues and legislative and regulatory proposals and developments at the
federal, state and local levels concerning the tobacco ndustry generally and the
cigarette manufacturers in particular. As a trade association, TI considers the
common interests of TI and the cigarette rnanufaoturing companies in these
areas and carries out such lobbying or public affairs and public relations
activities as are determined to be appropriate in view of those common
interests. These activities require close consultation among TI counsel and
staff and the cigarette manufacturers' counsel and staff. Since the formation
of TI, the law firm of Cevington & 8urlfng has served as TNs principal
corporata, antitrust, egslarnrs and regulatory counsel. Tbe law firm of Shook

concerns that also are at issue in smoking and health cases against T1 and the
cigarette manufacturing companies, In view of the joint legal interests often
involved in these issues, it also has been common for legal counsel to be
retained jointly by Tt andfor the tobacco companies, with the understanding
that legal advice and attorney work product may be exchanged among the
parties without waiver.
8. The first action fElad against TI seeking to recover for
personal injuriss allegedly caused by smoking cigarettes was ;{p,g v. Phil'en
orrig,,tnc, et a1., brought on May 15, 1964 in Superior Court, New York
County, New York. Cigarette manufacturing companies named as defendants
in that case were The American Tobacco Company, Uggett & Myers, Irrc.,
Lorillard Tobacco Company, Philip Morris, Inc., and the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company. Three additional cases were flied against Ti in New York in 1965
and 1366. The next casea flied against TI were brought in California in 1972.
((A listing of smoking and health cases In which Ti was named a defendant prior
to January 1. 1996 is attached as Exhibit S). Currently, more than 60 cases
are pending in which't7 is a defendant. In each cass, TI has been named a co-
defendarrt a#ang with one or more cigarette manufaoturing defendants. At all
tirnes since its formation, Ti thus has either been a defendant in a pending case
or has had reason to anticipate that actions might be filed against Ti.
9. In connection with its defense of pending and anticipated
smoking and health cases, Ti has engaged the services of litigation counsel.

10. The index of privileged documents provided to the Special

common legal interest with cigarette manufacturing companies on the subjects
discussed in the documents and that confidential communications between TI
counsel and staff and representatives of the cigarette companies relating to legal
advice on those matters remain fully privileged. TI has never waived any privilege
and maintains restrictions on access to its files and other customary security
measures to maintain the confidentiality of its files.

Directors, and a variety of committees concerned with federal government
relations, state and local government relations and public reiations. With
respect to tegal matters, there is a Committee of Counsel comprised of general
counsels (or their designees) of the tobacco companies, as well as, at various
times, outside counsel. The Committee of Counsel has been in existence since
at least January 1972 and meets approximately once a month. Its function is
to nsonitor and evaluate legal Issues of concern to the tobacco industry and In
which the participants havn common interesta, including litigation and
legislative and regulatory matters, and to provide legal advice an matters of
common legal interest to Tt and the other participants.
7. Even before TI was formed, litigation Invo#ving damages
claims attributed to adverse health effects of smoking had been instituted
against the cigarette companies who became members of Tt. As a trade
association for those companies, T1 also could anticipate that It would be
named as a defendant in such lit3gai3on. From the inception of TI, legislative,
regulatory and public affairs matters with which TI has been concerned have
been closely related to issues central to thg litigation. Examples of such
interrelated issues include legislative and regulatory proposa3a concorning
cigarette package andtor advertising warnings. restrictions on cigarette
advertising, regulation of cigarette product features or ingredients and
restrictions on public smoking, all of which have been advocated by their
proponents based in whole or in part on smoking and health claims and

interests in these matters therefore has been necessary to the performance by TI of
its functions.
7. The first action filed against TI seeking to recover for personal
injuries allegedly caused by smoking cigarettes was Fine v. Ph'stip Morris. Inc. et
al., brought on May 15, 1964 in Superior Court, New York County, New York.
Cigarette manufacturing companies named as defendants in that case were The
tlsnericatt'Tobacco Company, Liggett & Myers, Inc., Lorillard Tobacco Company,
Philip Morris, Inc., and the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Three additional
cases were filed agai
York in 1965 and 1966. The next cases filed
against TI were brought in California in 1972. (A listing of smoking and health
cases in which TI was named a defendant prior to January 1, 1996 is attached as
Exhibit B). Currently, more than 60 cases are pending in which TZ is a defendant
In eaeh case, TI has been named a co-defendant along with one or more cigarette
manufacturing defendants. At all times since its formation, TI thus has either been
a defendant in a pending case or has had reason to anticipate that actions might be
filed against TT.
8. In connection with its defense of pending and anticipated
smoking and health cases, TI has engaged the services of counsel. TI's national
litigation coordinating counsel is Covington & Burling, which also has provided
counsel to TI on legislative and regulatory matters, among other things, since its
formation. TI also has engaged local counstl for each case in which it is a
defendant.

5. As a tobacco industry trade association, TI has a common legal
interest with the cigarette manufacturers. Among the functions TI performs as a
trade association is monitoring and analyzing legislative and regulatory proposals
and developments and public affairs issues concerning the tobacco industry
generally and the cigarette manufacturers i
p
purpose of this
to identify and consider the common interests of TI and the cigarette
manufacturing companies in these areas and to carry out such lobbying or public
as are determined to be appropriate in view of those common
interesu. These activities require close consultation between TI counsel and staff
and counsel for the cigarette manufactutxrs.
6. Even before TI was formed, litigation involving damages
claims attributed to adverse health effects of smoking had been instituted against
the cigarette companies who became members of TI. As a trade association for
those companies, TI also could anticipate that it would be named as a defendant in
such litigation. From the inception of TT, legislative, regulatory and public affairs
matters with which TI has been concerned have been closely related to issues
central to the litigation. Examples of such interrelated issues include legislative
and regulatory proposals concerning cigarette package andlor advertising
warnings, restrictions on cigarette advertising, regulation of cigarette product
features and restrictions on public smoking, all of which have been advocated by
their proponents based in whole or in part on smoking and health claims and
concerns that also a, = at issue in smoking and health cases against TI and the
cigarette manufacturing companies. Confidential privileged communications

8. fihe second reason why documents prepared by
Covington S Burling might properly be in Liggett's files is that
Covington & Burling is outside counsel to The Tobacco Institute,
Inc. ("TI"). TI is a nonprofit industry trade association
organized under New York law and located in Washington, D.C. Its
membership consists of manufacturers of tobacco products. Several
courts have held that each individual member of a trade association
is a client of the trade association's lawyer, and that
communications from the trade association's counsel to counsel for
the association's members are privileged. See, e.a., United States
v. American Radiator & Standard Sanitarv Coro., 278 F. Supp. 608,
614 (W.D. Pa. 1967) {'"'[E]ach individual member of the [trade]
association is a client of the association's lawyer' . . . . In
such a relationship, the attorney-client privilege would be
applicable°j; 'Iji re Brand Name Prescrintion Drucs Antitrust
Litigation, No. 94 C 897, MDL No. 997, 1996 WL 5180 at *3 (N.D.
111. Jan. 3, 1996) (memorandum from trade association's counsel to
counsel for the association's members is privileged).
9. One of TI's committees is the Committee of Counsel,
which provides legal advice to TI and its members on legislative,
regulatory, and other matters of industry-wide interest. The
members of the Committee of Counsel include lawyers from the
general counsel's offices of companies that compose TI's
membership. The membership of the Committee of Counsel has at
times included counsel from Liggett as well as counsel from other
companies.

both houses of Congress. Covington & Burling's legal representation
has involved such matters as the disclosure of cigarette
ingredients to DHS, the development of ventilation standards by
OSHA, the regulation of pesticides by EPA, labeling and advertising
regulations issued by the FTC, subsidies for tobacco production
administered by USDA, and congressional interest in the development
of so-called nfire-safe" cigarettes. Cov3ngton & Burling's legal
fees for this representation have been paid collectively by Philip
Morris Incarporated, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Brown &
Williamson Tobacco Corporation, Lorillard Tobacco Company, the
American Tobacco Company, and sometimes Liggett Group Inc.
4. One example of Covington & Burling's work for
several tobacco manufacturers has been in connection with the
reporting requirements of the Federal Cigarette Labeling and
Advertising Act. The ingredients used by the companies in
manufacturing cigarettes have historically been considered
confidential trade secrets. For many years, Covington & Burling
has received lists of ingredients from each company and then
provided I7HS with a master, composite list for the industry as a
whole. Each ingredient appeared only once on the composite list,
and the list did not identify the users of any particular
ingredient. Thus the companies were able to satisfy the reporting
requirements of the Act without divulging trade secrets to one
another.

joint-client privilege but not a joint-defense privilege. As I
understand the Court's decision, if A and B attend a meeting with
their separate lawyers, their communications at the meeting are not
privileged. But if A and B employ a single attorney for their
joint representation, then their communications with that attorney
are privileged.
6. ' I have personally reviewed the privilege log listing
the Liggett documents that are the subject of this Court's
Memorandum-Decision and Order of October 15, 1997. The privilege
log indicates that a substantial number of the documents at issue
were prepared by or transmitted to Covington & Bur2ing in its role
as counsel for multiple tobacco manufacturers, including Philip
Morris, R.S. Reynolds, Brown & Williamson, Lorillard, and American,
as well as Liggett. I have confirmed the accuracy of the privilege
log by reviewing most if not all of the documents on that log that
were prepared by or transmitted to Covington & Burling
7. Because Covington & Burling has never represented
only Liggett in connection with any regulatory or other legal
matter,e there are two reasons why documents prepared by Covington &
Bur2ing could properly be
in Liggett's possession. The first
reason is that the documents refer or relate to matters on which
Covington & Burling has been retained by its clients to represent
several tobacco manufacturers jointly. Such documents are subject
to the joint-client doctrine. Liggett does not have unilateral CC=

the Committee on Government Operations of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States Congress, issued an official
Subcommittee report, after conducting hearings in connection
with the aforesaid investigation, to the effect that defendant's
brands of cigarettes were high in tar content and other con-
tents and ingredients believed to be carcinogenic, and to the
effect that PHZLIP MORRIS' advertising of its said cigarettes
was false and misleading.
29. That as early as 1942, the United States Federal
Trade Commission considered a complaint that the advertising
for the defendant PHILSP MORRIS' "Philip Morris" brand of cigar-
ettes as prepared by defendant SIIRHETT was improper and in vio-
lation of the rules and regulations of that governmental body,
in that the advertisements stated, among other matters, that

reports, or by any of the defendants herein; that, instead,
plaintiff was ce^neller{ to rely on such accounts, summaries and
interpretations of said reports, studies and surveys as ap-
;_.. -' .. ._. . -.. . .-. .... . ..... .._....srg .<..< -. . ;f.
or were disseminated over the radio and television stations
to which he was a listener or a viewer.
56. That by the actions of all of the defendants in

the aforesaid repcr,=, studies and surveys which tended to im-
plicate or to link s.^okinc with various diseases and afflic-
tions, includiaa ._an<<er, never came to plaintiff's attenc_3n.
That those of said reports, studies and surveys which did come
to plaintiff's attention appeared or were presented in a much
diluted, confused or obfuscated form, and were accompanied by
reports from one or another of the defendants, and especially
the defendant C<)i2TCIIL after the date of its formation, which
criticized or contradicted such medical and scientific reports,
studies and surveys and made it appear that they were not en-
titled to public credence and scientific respect.
57. That the defendant PHILIP MORRIS, aided and abetted
by the other defendants in this complaint, possessed economic
power through capability of placing expensive tobacco adver-
tisements and telecommunications commercials with numerous and
competing press and communications media. That said defen-
dants, among the various radio and television networks and sta-
tions, and among the media of magazines and newspapers, ob-
tained and wielded said economic power, directly and indirectly,
to coerce said media selling advertising time and space to re-

and surveys as to the effect of smoking upon human health, only
what said defendants wanted reported, and in the style and eran-
ner which said defendants desired.

the effects of smoking upon the lungs, by pointing out signi-
ficant increases in abnormal cellular pathology in smokers, in-
cluding metaplasia, hyperplasia and carvinoma in situ in the
y,~^ac r~^^r.k? ..
46. That in 1961, Dr. Ernest L. Wynder, of the Sloan-
C
Institute, reviewed all of the evidence to that date
on the subject of smoking and lung cancer, and concluded that
S
~uu.-.isut ..
1:rng would develop.
47. That in 1964, the 3dvisory Committee of the Surgeon
General of the Cn:ted States 3rcduced and issued a 397-pace
report entitled, "Smoking and Health". That such report reached
the conclusion that on the basis of prolonged study and evalua-
tion of many lines of converging evidence, cigarette smoking
is a health hazard of suFficient importance in the United
States to warrant appropriate remedial action.
48. That Dr. Paul Kotkin, an associate of defendant
COUNCIL and-member of its scientific board, together with Dr.
&ans L. Falk, writing for said defendant COUNCIL in 1960, ad-
mitted that smoking was a causative factor in lung cancer.
49. That the then Surgeon General of the United States,
Dr. Leroy F. Burney, in 1959 reported that the weight of evi-
dence at that time implicated smoking as the principal etio-
Iogical factor in the increased incidence of lung cancer, and
that unless the use of tobacco could be made safe, the indivi-
dual person's risk of lung cancer could best be reduced by the
elimination of smoking.
50. That Dr. Herman B. Hilleboe, t4es York State Cam-
missioner of Health, in 1959 reported that from the practical
standpoint, there was already enough evidence incriminating
cigarette smoking to justify advising the public that the
available evidence was consistent with the view that cigarette
smoking is one of the causative factors in lung cancer.

other defendant in this complaint, was aware of medical and
scientific tests, experiments, examinations, studies, reports
and surveys relating to smoking, which were made or were issued ,
during the period .r.,a: 1930 through 2853. That said defendants
knew, or in the exercise of ordinary care under the circum- staaces then and there existing should
have known, that said re-
ette products were in no manner injurious to his health, because
in none of the advertising ~hich he read or heard over the
period of thirty-three rears in which he smoked was there anv

ause or probable cause of cancer of the respiratory
organs and other respiratory portions of the body, including
the lungs.
36. That said medical and scientific studies, tests
and experiments, and the reports based thereon, were not only -
statistical in nature, but were also based upon principles of
epidemiology, pathology and biology, and of chemical analysis.
37. That, upon information and belief, some of said
tests, experiments and studies were conducted by, or for, deEn-
dant PHILIP ISORRIS; that others were sponsored by defendant
ODUNCIL; and, upon information and belief, that still others
were conducted by or on behalf of, or were prepared at the in-
stigation of, one or more of the other defendants in this com-
plaint.
I
38. That from 1638 through 1963, and particularly dur-
ing the decade of the nineteen-fifties, physicians and other
scientists made detailed and statistical studies of smokiug,
particularly of cigarette smoking, and concluded that there was
a much greater risk-of lung cancer among cigarette smokers than

58. That the defendant PHILIP MORRIS, on the occasion
or occasions of its annual reports to its shareholders and to
the financial and general press, constantly stated that cigar-
ette ~s3oking was sale, that at had a"psychoioQicat value".
and that factors other than smoking were the cause of cancer
of the respiratory tract organs and other respiratory portions
of the body, including the lungs.
59. That ar thc c>...: .t.- tl.1- nrrIi rn .r-'7-
was such aforesaid statec.eats at its said annual aeet-
ings, it was busily diversifying its activities by engaging
in production of non-tobacco products, including chewine gum.
razor blades and shaving cream. That said diversification was
undertaken as a safeguard and a hedge against the day, which
on information and belief said defendant regarded as inevitable,
when the public would finally obtain unbiased and accurate
medical and scientific reports, studies and surveys of the risks
to human health and life associated with smoking, and would, as
a result thereof, curtail consumption of cigarettes, including
defendant PHILIP 1DRRIS' brands. "
60, That the plaintiff commenced smoking defendant ,
PHILIP MORRIS' brands of cigarettes at approximately the age af
fifteen years, during the year 1930; that he continued to smoke
said brands of cigarettes, "Philip lforris°, "Marlboro" and
"Parliament", regularly and continuously until February, 1963.
61. That plaintiff smoked defendant PHILIP 5lQRRIS'
brands of cigarettes at the rate of one and one-half to two
packages, or thirty to forty cigarettes, each day from 1930 up
to the year 1950; that thereafter plaintiff smoked said cigar-
ette products at the rate of approximately three packages per
day, or sixty cigarettes per day.

10. In my review of the Liggett documents that are the
subject of this Court's Memorandum Decision and Order of October
15, 1997, I have found numerous documents that were prepared by
Covington & Burling for TI's Committee of Counsel. These documents
were transmitted to the committee members in their capacity as
members of the TI committee and as clients of Covington & Burl%ng.
Liggett does not have the right to waive any privilege attaching to
TI documents that are in Liggett's possession solely through the
participation of various Liggett lawyers on the Committee of
Counsel. Such documents are protected by the plain language of
K.S.A. 50-426(a)(3), because they came to the knowledge of Liggett
in the course of transmittal between Covington & Burling and its
client TI.
11. In short, each and every privileged document
prepared by or transmitted to Covington & Burling that is found in
the Liggett documents that are the subject of this Court's
Memorandum Decision and Order of October 15, 1997, is entitled to
protection under the joint-client doctrine andJor the plain
language of K.S.A. SO-.i2b(a)(3). These documents were either
created in connection with Covington & Burling's joint
representation of multiple tobacco companies, or are TI documents
that came to be in Liggett's possession through its participation
on TI's Committee of Counsel.

said reports that were printed in the newspapers were diluted,
distorted, confused and negated by the counteracting reports
of the defendant COGNCIL; that such COUNCIL reports were
statee, on sQ,ae .~:cast.,r-, . .,- ::asai in4 :rom COtSCIL.
202. That plaintiff was further subjected to biased,
distorted and inaccurate reports through the e#forts of the
Scientific Advisory Board of defendant COUNCIL in soliciting
and
inaccurate statements of research and evaluations thereof.
203. That defendant COUNCIL promulgated, in 1962, a re- port made by consuitar.ts and
representatives of deendant
TOBACCO, that employees of said Company who smoked
~
very heavily did not develop lung cancer; but that said report
covered a study that was not performed under scientific condi- ~
tions, as defendant COUNCIL knew. .
204. That delodant COUNCIL, aided and abetted by defen-
dant HILL & XHOIILTDN, caused to be run in a large number of
newspapers in the United States, in 1954, an advertisement .
which it prepared and sponsored as a frank statement to cigar- {
ette, as entitled by defendant; but that such advertisement did Ij
not, in fact, contain such a frank statement and sought to con- fuse and to obfuscate the question
of causation of cancer and
to present biased information on that question.
205. That by undertaking to make reports to the news-
often often under its own name, or that of one of its afore- ..
said directors, and by undertaking to publicize reports of its
own that were biased and inaccurate, and by publicizing the as-
sertedly scientific and the grant-giving activities of its
aforesaid Scientific Advisory Board, the defendant COUNCIL, its
aforesaid directors and members, directly and intentionally
attempted to become, and did become, a well-known public figure.

dants did modify =a: {:,;~-.:~_.., 3^d ii'3 -.it -uch ir....~._i.2r.,
claims. That during the period of pendency of such proceedings
before the Federal Trade Comtcission as aforesaid, the said det
fendants knew of the inaccuracy of said ciaiiAs, or published
'
an.: proc:~.ltistce ar:_
= ~ t;u t..,
should such claims turn out to be false. ,
31, That during the ~
year 1964, the Federal Trade Ccm- p
mission entered into an examination of advertising practices of 7~
each and every delendant herein with respect to cigaretse~, a5
to whether such advertising was deceptive. That'at least :.+o
of the Commissicners, personaily and for the Co.;.nission, favored
rules to curb deceptive practices on the part of cigarette .:-anu--
facturers and advertisers. ~
32. That because of the extensive advertising as al- ~
Zeged aforesaid, of defendant PAILIP MORRIS' brands of cigar-
ettes, plaintiff FINE was influenced to begin to smoke them and
by virtue of the continuation and increase of said advertising,
said plaintiff was influenced and induced to continue to smoke
and to continue to smoke defendant's brands of cigarettes.
33. That in so smoking and continuing to smoke the
esaid brands of cigarettes, this plaintiff was reassured, by
the existence and continued flow of said advertisements and
their number and quantit}, that smoking, and smoking of the
aforesaid brands of cigarettes, would not be harmful to him and
would not be injurious to his physical health.
34. That, as aforesaid, plaintiff did rely on the con-
tinued flow and,appearances of advertising for the aforesaid {
cigarettes as some assurance of safety flowing from the defen- 1
dants PHILIP MORRIS, BURREIT and HILL & K:i4wLT6N and, durin 11I1g
their period of existence, from the defendants COUNCIL and IH- !
STZTUTS. That plaintiff reasoned and concluded, as defendants inteaded, and such was the state of
his mind as a member of th
00
il;

misleading and deceptive representations about the tobacco pro-
ducts, including defendant pHILIP3tQRRIS' brands of cigarettes,
on which it was preparing, or aiding in the preparation of,
statements, tv e::pr<s::.=trL.n and bc .mpi;'ir.g, ~:cat Soci1
products were safe, wholesome and harmless and in some manner
good for the health of the smoker, whereas it knew, or should
have known, that these brands of cigarettes were not beneli-

use and consumption of said cigarette products caused, .vr ,a,..,b-
ably caused, cancer of the respiratory tract organs and other
respiratory porti^ns of the body, including the lungs.
214. That the defendant COONCIL, its aforesaid direc-
tors and members, thereby knowingly, intentionally and £raudu-
lently omitted, concealed from, and failed to disclose and de-
clare to the public, including plaintiff, the risks to health,
including cancer of the respiratory tract organs and other res-
piratory portions of the body, including the lungs, created, or
probably created by smoking and consumption of the cigarette
tobacco products, including defendant PHILIP E[oRRIS' brands of
cigarettes, for xliich.it was preparing, or aiding in the pre-
statements, although it was, or should have been,
well aware of said risks.
215. That if the defendant COilNCIL, its aforesaid direc-
tors and members were not aware of the risks of cancer asso-
ciated with smoking of cigarettes, including the aforementioned
brands of cigarettes, at the initial time of issuance of state-
ments it and they were preparing, or aiding in the preparation
of, concerning the effect upon human health of smoking tobacco
products, including the said brands of cigarettes, said defen-

206. That as a result of said public efforts and said
notoriety, the dc -endant LUU\CIL, its aforesaid directors and
members, violated their duty and obligation to the public, in-
.
cigarette smoke contained substances carcinogenic in nature,
and their duty not to prevent the public from obtaining un-
biased and accurate 3nformation about the carcinogenic, or

207. That the duty owed by defendant COUNCIL to the
pu6lir, includinsr olaintiff, as stated in the iGanediately pre-
ceding paragraph, was further breached and violated as a result :
of the efforts of defendant COUNCIL, its aforesaid directors ~
and members, to di2ute, negate, counteract, conceal, distort and'
minimize the medical.and other scientific reports, studies }1!1!t!,
and surveys that were being released on the subject of the ef-
fect of tobacco smoking upon human health, life and longevity.
208. That as to plaintiff, the acts and activities of
defendant COUNCIL, and of its aforesaid directors and members,
constituted an intentional interference with, and an intentional
invasion of, plaintiff's right to personal good health and to
physical well being; that such acts and activities of said do-
fendant directly and proximately resulted in the infliction
upon plaintiff of temporal damages in the form of ill health.
209. That as to plaintiff, the aforesaid acts and acti-
vities of defendant Ct3tlHCIh, its aforesaid directors and mem-
bers, constituted a prima facie tort, in that said defendant
did intentionally that which was calculated in the ordinary
course of events to damage plaintiff without just cause or ex-
cuse, and which did, in fact, injure plaintiff herein; that
such acts and activities constituted a violation of plaintiff's

yet, with indi:ference Lo it. o:ri.gations as one prcparin;; ...-
vertising for a product for human consumption and to the conse-
quences of its acts or omissions, it made no attempt to ap-
