KENNEDY Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you here this morning to join the Subcommittee on Ilealtll in exploring a problem that is hecomii~s; increasingly important to us all : The relationship between cigarette siuoking and disease. This is not the first tiule that the ("culf;re5s has examined the question. 13ut, each time that a committee of the Senate or the. Ilouse of Itepre5entatives has held hearings on this subject, it seems to Ine that the weight. of scientific evicknce has become Inore convincing that there is, in fact, a direct relationship between cigarette smoking and certain types of disease. .IuSt yesterday, the subcotnmittee heard eviclence att a heat•ing on international health that. large -areas of the globe are still atllicted by a great, number of terrifying infectious di5easeti that exact a fearful toll in underdevelopecl countries. We are fortunate in thc United States that, we have successfully conquered most of the important infectious diseases, which once caused so much suffering and cleatfi. Iint. the problems of hneumonia, of tuLerculotii5, of holiowyelitis, ancl other diseases have given way to an even niore insiclions set of clisea5es «•hicll Ilow concerns its all. 'I'hese aree the more chronic cliyeaseti, and evidence is growing that. many of these are due to environinental fuctors. 'I'hese cliscascti are niore insidioii5 for two principle rcasons. Fir5t, many of thenc take an extreniely long ticue to develop, snul clepcncl upon the accnnnilation of snnall doses of the c:niFative agent over lonf; periocl5 of tillie. 'I'hus, while a canse/etCect relationshili can }m fairly easily establisllecl between tnlerc•ulosi5 and the tuhercle hacihis, or between poliomyelitis and the polio virus, it is far more clifficult to establish a direct. relationship lretween cancer of the liml-, or coronary heart clisease ancl any given environmental factor. 'More and molr, however, it is to the epidemiologist :uul Imhlic• health expert. that we inust turn for help with these 1>rohlenis, and (t)

2 witlc increasing clarity they tell us that environmental factors are the iuc~st iniportant. coutr1butors to t.he iuost serious preventa.ble diseases of t6e American people. In the face of a growing national conce.rn wit1L health problems, ancl with the rise in the cost of health care, I hc•sc• sauuc epicleiniolof;ist5, publie health experts, and ol her concerned in(livicluai5 arc demanding with increasing forcefichiess and justifica- f ion 111,11 the countr;y clevote 1uure of its attention to t.he prevention, as Acell as tlie c•in•e, of disease. It, was this approach to disease that first ailcrted t.hc+ world to the dangers of thalidomide, and more recently to the environmental hazards of such substances as kepone and articnic•. Now, these scientists tell us that foremost among the preventable c•n6runniental hazards which contribut.e to the ill health of the )eople and to the heavy burden of health care costs is the smoking of cif;arcttes. It is now over 11 years since the Surgeon General's report lirst clcclarecl that there was a firm link bet.ween cigarette smoking and canccr. Since then, eif;ht, suhsecluent official governmental reports on t he health consequences of smoking have presented mounting evidence thatt the tar and nicotine of cigarettes contributes not only to oral and pnlmonsu•y cancer, but also contributes significantly to increased morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease, cerebral- vascnlar disease, pulmonary emphysema •and chronic bronchitis, and perhaps other conditions, as well. These :u•e nott the chance findings and reconnnendat.ions of some obscure scientist., published in some obscure journal. They are the finclinf;5 and recommendations of those leading physicians and scien- tists to whom we ultimately entrust the health of the American people; our Assistant Secretary for Health of Health, Education, and Wel- fare; the Surgeon General of the TTnited States; the Director of our National Cancer Institute; the Director of our National IIeart and Lung Institute; t.he I)irector of our Center for Disease Control; and man,y others. It is time that we started to listen io some of their advice. 11'hen onr personal doctor diagnoses a potential or actual disease in our body, and reconunends a course of action for our personal welfare, we generally take thatt advice seriously. Now, when our national doctor nc,cke5 a diagnosis and recommends a course of action in the national interest, itt is no less important that. we take that advice seriously and follow it. We must. recognize, however, t.he seriousness of the problem that we face. (ht the one hand are t.he health and scientific issues which I men- I innecl above. On the other hand are the potential economic and social t hiratti tu a 5ignificant. Sef*cnent. of our populat ion; the tobacco growers and t ho5e who work in the cigarette industry. We must, therefore, weigh the evidence again as fairly as possible, and hear from reputable sc•ient ists and phytiicians on bot.h sides. This we shall do during the c•oin•se of these hearings, because the problem demands it. But I must ,aV thatt the Scientific evidence at this point seems convincing to me and I think thatt the burden of proof has shifted in the past• few years froni those who claim that. cigarettes are dangerous to those who claim t hat t hey are not. ln the hearing today, ancl those to follow, we will attempt to ascer- tain to thc fullest extent possible, t.he current state of knowledge on tlie relation5hip between cigarette smoking and disease. While there is I , I 3 a bill before the subcommittee, S. 2902, entitled, the "National Health Research and I)evelopment Act of 1976," it is our hope to devote the initial hearings to the scientific aspects of cigarette smokin • and disease, and to postpone consideration of the details of the bill to a later date. We will at this time, however, include the text of S. 2902 in the record. [The text of S. 2902 follows :] TIMN 450185
