Looking bach on it, particularly In ccmvarlc~n to other
tndust~tes, such as the asbestos compnnles, ~he tobacco
industry's progrnm ef research has been ably conceived and
admlnlstercd. The Industry has spent $75 million slnco 1054
in support of Independent smoking/health work. The research
money, whether it has b~en placed with ths ~merlcan ~edlcal
Associ~tion or at prestigious universities or through CTR
under the ~uidance of It~ Sclentlf~c Advisory ~]o~rd, has been
"open" research. All o~ it has been marhed by ccmplete
freedo~ in the conduct of the work and in the publication of
results. ~© publicatlon has so~et~mes been painful to us,
e.~. the propn~andistlc publication by AY& ]nst ~,=~er of
abstracts froz studios loa~ fin'.shcd as if the ~ubllcatlon
reflected si~aiflcavt new fi~d~ngs.- On the ~hoI¢, however,
• the principle of no-.str~n~n-attached research seems the right
way te go. There nl~o ,eodn to be n mix between research
that lenn~ toward besic ~clence and, on the other band,
re~earch ~h!ch denlv v~h problems speelficnlly relatoO to
tobacco and health.
Finally, it still makes sense to u~e a su=bcr of b~skets
for c~rry~ng out the lndustry's health research--sevsral
