Dear Congressman Waxman: 



By way of re-introduction, I am the Chairman, 

 Chief Executive Officer and President of the Council for 

 Tobacco Research — U.S.A., Inc. (the "Council"). As you 

 will recall, at your invitation I appeared before the Sub- 

 committee on Health and the Environment on May 26, 1994. 



At the May 26 hearing, I answered to the best of 

 my knowledge and ability all questions that were put to me. 

 Many of those questions appeared to reflect inaccurate pre- 

 conceptions or misinformation about the Council and its 

 work. In this letter, I would like to (1) explain how the 

 supplemental information provided in this letter has been 

 limited because we have not had an opportunity to discuss 

 procedural matters with the Subcommittee staff (Part I of 

 this letter), (2) reiterate some of the main points I made 

 during my testimony (Part II), (3) provide further informa- 

 tion and docximents in response to requests by the Subcom- 

 mittee (Part III), and (4) clarify several statements that I 

 made to the Subcommittee (Part IV) .
