DEPARTMENT OIF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVIICES October 8, 1985 Dr. Paul Magnus Medical Associate to the Director National Heart Foundation of Australia P.O. Box 2. Woden, A.C.T. 2606 Australl& Dear Dr.,lMagnus: I am responding to your letter of September 24,, 1985 regarding the issue of passive smoking that has been: by the Australian Tobacco Institute. In May 198'3, the D'ivislon of Lung Diseases, National Heart, Lung, and .. Blood Institute, convened a group of experts to examine some of'the epidemiologic data that had been collected over the years by investigators who have! been supported by the Institute. The question rel'ated to possible examination and analysis of the data for impact of passive smoking. The projects that were being discussed had'not been i~mplemented to examine passive smoking per se; the intent of' the workshop was to examine whether or not the Institute could capitalize on exi'sting,data sets•to~gather somee additional information. FollowingI the workshop, some of the part ici pants ~ have worked on further analyses of their data; they will event:uall'y publish their results. The report of the workshop appeared in a summary document;, a copy is enclosed. This report was never published', in the peer reviewed literature.` It does not represent the opinion of.the Nati!onal' Institutes: of Health. It was only`intendedito summarfte the views of the workshop participants. The report was prepared by the workshop chairmen, Dr. Hans Weill and Dr. Sonia Buist and was circulated to, all of the participants. It is my understanding that the workshop participants who have worked together to examine their data sets as per the workshop recpmmendationsi will soon be submitting their analyses for publication. If acceptsd! for pub,licatlon in a peer-reviewed Journal, the Institute may then be in a better position to have a statement to: make about the respiratory effeets of' passive smoking based! on NFIIi,B'i'-sponsored' research. Enclosure Sincerely yours, C' " U,-AAt>,~ Claude Lenfant, M.D. Director N ~ ~ ~. ~ C R'-31 Pubtic Health Service National Institutes of Health ~ National Heart. Luna, and Blbod Institute Bethesda.
