Subject: NHK Interview

Abstract

Reports on potential interview of Steve Parrish by NHK (Japanese National Broadcasting Corp.), and possible "messages" to be used. Notes that "themes of accommodation and extremism in the U.S. when it comes to attitudes toward smoking will be played up." States that "claims about addiction and ingredients" in relation to the U.S. industry have received wide media coverage in Japan during past months. Opines that Japanese have better "smoking manners, courtesy and tolerance" than Americans, and that that point might be beneficial to make during interview.
