I cannot help but think that the intent of these questions are to seek 

 information to impugn my character, and are a form of punishment for 

 coming forward and telling the truth. When I met with your stall on April 

 27th. I, in the presence of my wife was told that I had no rights once I 

 appeared before Congress. I am now beginning to understand what they 

 meant. 



Respeafully sir, I challenge the intent and motive of your inquiry and 

 further, I question, why you are conducting an investigation of Victor 

 DeNoble instead of an investigation of the issue at hand - tobacco and health. 



With all due respect, I feel the American public has a right to know 

 what the consequences may be for coming forward openly and honestly to 

 give testimony before our elected officials. 



Mr. Bliley, in my testimony to G)ngress concerning my research 

 activities at Philip Morris, I gave testimony that was factual, objeaive, and, 

 with conscious intent, non-judgmental. My testimony reflected what I 

 believe was a positively motivated research program by the Philip Morris 

 organization and I find your questions disappointing. I sincerely hope that 

 other individuals are not treated in the same manner.
