Armstrong serves as chairman of the corporation's Loss
Management Committee and was charged with developing, a
policy recommendation concerning smoking in the
workplace. We providedhim with the workplace kit and

materials very helpful and in addition~to information
gathered froma number of health organizations, were
used to write the company's "*_?:r,--tly voluntary policy."

allows smoking in private offices, andallows employees
to determine ind:livdual smoking/nonsmoking sections in
open office areas.
Armstrong said issue is not completely resolved and
requestedadditional information. To~no avail, he has
contactedCTMC. We will continue to follow up.
