Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph No. 7 
The NCI can provide an invaluable public service in sponsoring a scientific forum 
to address these issues and formulate alternative recommendations. It would be 
particularly helpful if a conference on this matter, perhaps in collaboration with the 
National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Federal Trade Commission, could be convened 
by October 1994. 
Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate 
to contact me or Ripley Forbes of the Subcommittee staff if we can answer any questions 
or provide assistance in developing a conference agenda. I look forward to hearing firom 
you. 
With every good wish, I am 
Sincerely, 
HENRY A. WAXMAN 
Chairman, Subcommittee on 
Health and the Enviroiunent
