6. Marvini R. Eirubes,*' Director, Communications & Research Departmen United' Food & Commercial Worhers.. Marvin Hrubes ("her-OO-bish"J is an officer with the Council of Institutional Investors, which is why his name appears as a signatory on the two: letters we received from the institutions. There was recently a bitter battle within the leadership~of the Council. with the unions wanting more representation at the execudve level. Our S tock Watch advisor at First Chicago Corporation has nor been able to tind any information on this group. 7. AshiWilliams, Executive Director; Flbrida State Board of Administration. While members oflthe Florida board are often speakers at corporate governance conferences, they do not appear as aggressive as CALPERS; INYCERS or the Teamsters. We are not aware of'any shareholder proposals that they have submitted. Luther Jones,* a quiet; reasonable man whom, we know, is an~ important figure at the Florida board. The Floridz public pension fund has $28.68 billion under management and owns 3:6 million shares of Philip Morris. (Note: On 9/6/94; the Florida State Baard filed a shareholder suit alleging the PM'inflated'its stock price by concealing, the addictive nature of nicotine. The suit is similar to the Steiner/Kurzweibsuit in New York. See Q'-2 of the Qc4Cr1. / -~:--- _ = =_-- _= _=-= - _- - 2a;31626C6 5
