We at Inductotherm Corp. decided to do our part quite a number of years age when we offered a partially company-funded smoke enders program and instituted a policy of only hiring non-smokers. Over the years the number of smokers here at Inductotherm has of course decreased. Recently we have made our facilities completely smoke-free by not allowing smoking anywhere on the premises. By doing this we hope to eliminate the dangers associated with secondary smoke thereby improving the safety and health of our employees. Whereas we wish to be cooperative and support worthwhile causes, we really don't have enough information to issue a letter of support for the ASSIST project. If we don't clearly understand what the project is, then we cannot state if there is a need for it nor can we state we will support it or can we state that the state and local coalitions will carry out the terms of a contract we haven't seen. If we are to comply with your request we must have a much better understanding of the project. In light of our efforts as a private company you can see that we do support the idea of reducing the prevalence of smoking. Please send whatever additional information you can and we will review it and determine the extent of our support based upon the facts as we perce;tl{e them. ~1 , ~~~ Davi ~L.
