Brussels PHILIP MORRIS CORPORATE SERVICES INC. Rue Joseph I(, 166 ° 1040 Brussels INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE To: Distribution Date: June 17, 1994 From: Joanna Sullivan C.C.. David Bushong Subject: IARC Study David Greenberg Helene Lyberopoulos Matt Winokur In preparation for the release of the IARC study on ETS and lung cancer, currently expected to be in mid 1995, and the inevitable pressure that will ensue for increased smoking restrictions, we are preparing a series of briefing papers for background information and advocacy in the pre- and post-study release period. Attached is a draft table of contents for the ETS and IARC Briefing Book. The information is intended for use both directly and through third party contacts (scientists, libertarian and public policy groups) with key targets in defence of' increased smoking restrictions. The papers will be cleared for use with external contacts. These could include: • Government: politicians responsible for public health and social affairs issues civil servants in health and social affairs ministries Scientific Advisory bodies occupational Health and Safety Committees • potential/existing allies: employers groups, unions, human resource groups, Horeca and transport sectors • media (if authorised): scientific and social editors of news dailies and weeklies. The Briefing Book is intended to include all the key information you will require in planning and implementing our campaigns to mitigate the impact of the IARC study, particularly to guard against unreasonable legislative restrictions. You may have suggestions of other briefing notes that you would find useful. We shall continue to send key studies, "good news" articles and other useful background or advocacy material to support and update the "Briefing Book", which should be completed early autumn. I hope to finalise the Briefing Book table of contents, on the basis of your input, at the next field meeting.
