Dear Mr. Salome:
The News' September 19 editorial (enclosed) claimed
"the tobacco industry gets additional assistance,
estimated at more than $30 million annually, from
government research aimed at developing saŁer cigaretsi"
We are n~t aware of any government research on any
phase of tobacco that amounts to that figure. Could

Thanks.
