May 26 in response to this request, abstracts of publica- 

 tions resulting from CTR grants and contracts have appeared 

 in the Council's annual reports, and we can make the publi- 

 cations themselves available to the Subcommittee for its 

 review. 



With these qualifications, we are providing in the 

 boxes marked "Box 1" and "Box 2" copies of over 375 publica- 

 tions resulting from Council-funded research that could be 

 considered to indicate that tobacco use may increase the 

 likelihood of developing diseases or conditions that have 

 been associated with smoking. (These documents were 

 selected from the Council's files of publications resulting 

 from Council grants. Those files are not complete since not 

 all publications have been provided by the researcher or 

 located by the Council.) We have used our best efforts to 

 compile for the Subcommittee a complete set of such publi- 

 cations, in light of the difficulties referred to above. In 

 addition, in order to reduce the burden on the Subcommittee, 

 we are not providing copies of publications that simply rely 

 on or refer to previous research findings associating smok- 

 ing and diseases, and in a number of instances we are not 

 providing copies of publications that are preliminary to, or 

 repetitive of, publications that are being provided. 



Nicotine studies fTr. at pp. 61. 62K The two 

 boxes of documents marked "Box 3" and "Box 4" contain copies 

 of over 560 publications resulting from Council-funded re- 

 search that appear to examine the effects of nicotine. (As 

 explained above, the set of publications from which these 

 documents were selected is incomplete.) Again, we have used 

 our best efforts to compile for the Subcommittee a complete 

 set of such publications. 



As I mentioned during my testimony on May 26, 

 during the very week of my testimony the Council sponsored 

 an important seminar on central nervous system receptors, 

 including the receptors that respond to nicotine and its 

 analogues. Item I in the Appendix includes copies of the 

 program from that seminar and of the abstracts presented at 

 that seminar. 



Council Special Projects files (Tr. at p. 106K 

 We have gathered 14 boxes of documents, consisting of about 

 30,000 pages, from the Council's files on Council Special 

 Projects. The vast majority of these documents are from
