You will recall that, in accordance with a direc- tion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the various aspects of conflict of interest were considered in detail in my letter to you of June 23, 1961, and that you were asked to file with the Conflict of Interest Committee of the Board at that time a certificate with respect thereto. Under date of January 29, 1962, I advised you that the Board had directed that such certificates be obtained from directors, officers and employees each year in connec- tion with the preparation of material for the Annual Meet- ing of Stockholders, and I am enclosing herewith a copy of such statement for that purpose. I would appreciate your signing and returning it promptly to Thomas F. Ahrensfeld, Secretary Conflict of Interest Committee, 100 Park Avenue, New York 17, New York. Those of you who are new employees should have been furnished with copies of my letters of June 23, 1961 and January 29, 1962, and enclosures thereto, at or shortly after the time of the commencement of your employment. In any event, extra copies can be obtained from the Secretary's office. JFC3rd/gsu Enclosure s PHILIP MORRIS • MARLBORO • PARLIAMENT ALPINE BENSON & HEDGES
