DECLARATION OF ROBERT M. SPILLER, JR. 



1. I am Robert M. Spiller, Jr., one of the Associate Chief 

 Counsels for Enforcement, of the United States Food and Drug 

 Administration . 



2. On 3 MAY 94, I was one of the FDA representatives who 

 visited Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company in Macon, Georgia. 

 While I was there, one of the FDA team asked the group of Brown £ 

 Williamson representatives whether Brown & Williamson had done 

 any plant breeding work to develop either a low-nicotine or a 

 high-nicotine plant. Some Brown & Williamson person (I do not 

 remember which one) said that it was not our objective to breed 

 for high or low nicotine. 



3. Attached is a true copy of the page of my contemporaneous 

 notes of that meeting which contains my note of the Brown & 

 Williamson response to our question regarding plant breeding for 

 nicotine. 



Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury 

 that the foregoing is true and correct. 



Executed on 22 JUN 94 



Robert 



lert M. Spilier, Jr.
