Review of Final Reoort The final report was drafted by staff, using the Panel's reccm^.endations and subsequently revised according to the Report Review Subcc=*ttee's comznents. To determine individual Panel members degree of support for the recommenda- tions, it was decided that the staff would solicit comments from each person within the next week. The opportunity to file a minority report wiii be extended at that time. The format of the minority reports as agreed on by the Panel is as follows: a) the report should not be more than two single-spaced pages, b) the report can refer to background materials contained in the appendi.x, c) staff will provide secretarial support for the typing of the minority report, consistent with the format of the majority report; and, d) minority reports will be listed in the table of contents. The following decisions were made concerning the draft of the report: The table of contents, under II "Reconanended Actions" the following will be listed: A. SimIInary and B. Conclusions. Appendix C will be re:noved as there wa.s ccnsiderable ccnfusion abcut the inclusion of a State "Clean Indoor Air Act". All references to the .act will be deleted in the body of the report. Cnly the minutes of the full Panel meeti.-ig will be included in the appendiY. Two backgroiuid papers will be included in the appendix of the report :Lrl a) Smokino and F?ealth in Mic:ziQan by Xenneth E. warner, Ph.D; and, M b) e _,~,mo Lnana :ea t. cntroversv: Another Side by George E. ~ Sc'~azer, . . .

I I r I r I i ~ ~ I I I I The list of those who have submitted public corur,ents will ~e ca:egcri_ed by source (e.g. public health depar^:ents, private citizens). Correspondence will be listed, including the na;re and date. .an asterisk will indicate those letters that appear in the appendix. ConcerZing the Prologue, page 2, lines 21-23 will be deleted. The rationale for recom„endation #2 should state the percentage of the drop in federal excise tax. Taking into'accotnt the public's conanents, reconanendaticn #4 will include the option of a federal tax credit for smoking cessation costs. Reconanendation #8 should state "food service establishment smoking law". The rationale for recommendation #10, line 21, should state the Public Health Code requires rather than rrandates local public health depart- ments to plan, implement, and evaluate health education. Recemnendation #12, line 17, should state "health education curricultrn". The rationale for recommendation #15 should state " . . . . progrmn options for smoking prevention and cessation are far from exhausted." Reconanendation #16 and #17 will be merged. The rationale for reccmmenda- tion #16 will be reworded to incorporate #17. Tr.e rationale, page 17, - line 3, will be amended to state ".... an effective means of reduc- ing the risk of heart disease." The phase, "given the critical importance of smoking to the health of Michigan's citizens" will be deleted from recommendation #19. During the public hearing, it was noted that the roles of the voluntary health agencies were omitted in the report. The Panel agreed that these agencies have been important in providing programs and activities aimed toward the reduction of smoking. Recorrmendation #20 will be modified to state that the responsibility of Michigan Department of Public Health will be to seek guidance and cooperation with voluntary health agencies. "Cur State" shculd be revised to "the State". V. Logistical Considerations The staff will contact the Governor's office to receive the following information: 1) how those members who have never attended a meeting at should be represented in the final report; and, 2) procedures for the ~ discharge of Panel member's duties. 04 It was reported that the Governor's Administrative Assistant will arrange ~ a meeting with the staff and CY~.airperson to discuss: 1) ranking the MO -57-
