I'm afraid, however, that your legislation, if approved, would in 

 fact have the effect of banning cigarettes. That's why I oppose your 

 bill. 



Mr. Synar. My point being, Mr. Sandefur, that no legislation 

 guarantees a ban. My legislation at least leaves it questionable, 

 does it not? 



Mr. Sandefur. Well, I guess it's a matter of perception. 



Mr. Synar. All right. I'd ask the staff to provide Mr. Sandefur 

 with the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company letter from Mr. James W. 

 Johnston to David Kessler dated February 28, 1994, and I'd ask 

 unanimous consent that it be made a part of the record. 



Mr. Waxman. Without objection, it will be made a part of the 

 record.
