Abstract

Reports that Dr. Gardner's proposal to undertake short term tests on smoke fractions was considered as unacceptable. CTR has been carrying out tests on cigarette smoke coadesate fractions, and the outcome of such tests should be awaited. Tests on mice through the CTR are red-light tests and may be harmful to the tobacco industry if known by legislators (Sen. Kennedy) and difficult to explain. The funding of work by several companies is unlikely to pose antitrust problem.
