Although you are probably already aware of the
situation, I
wish to confirm that BARCLAY was NOT attacked at
the CORESTA Meeting
in Vienna. Further, it was not a topic of general
discussion.
From various discussions it was clear that
although BAT's mem-
bership (Germany and UK: on behalf of BAT Suisse)
and the scientific
contributions are welcome, the somewhat ambivalent
approach which the
Company has to CORESTA is perceived by the
organisation and, for this
reason, we do not have any real influence.
This view was expressed in discussions with
Westcott (Imperial)
and, to a lesser extent, by Adams who has resigned
as coordinator of
the Task Force on ventilation.
To have some influence in CORESTA, I believe that
BAT UK would
have to become members and be willing to
contribute to various task
force activities over a number of years.
It was also clear that Philip Morris and
Reynolds,. through their
long-term commitment to CORESTA, have a lot of
power in the organisa-
tion. This was particularly well illustrated in
the selection of the
four co-opted members of the Scientific
Commission. Although Hollweg
of BAT Germany had gained slightly more votes than
Osdene (PM) in the
110
voting by members, Osdene was invited to join the
Scientific Commis- 00
--,I
sion. Subsequently Osdene was appointed a Vice
Chairman of the
Commission: N. Baskevitch of de Mauduit was
appointed as second Vice Un
Chairman. Akehurst of Carreras Rothmans remains as
Chairman.

Contact was made with Dr. J.S. Cole (Deputy
Ditector, Tobacco
Research Board, Zimbabwe) early in the week. He is
a member of the
Scientific Commission and we had met previously
when he visited GRWC.
Although he is not in a strong position he was
prepared to talk generally
and answer questions.
Cole was able to confirm that BARCLAY or by-pass
filters were not
discussed in the meetings of the Scientific
Commission.
Following the appointment of Osdene in favour of
Hollweg, Cole com-
mented that he was surprised but it was obviously
pre-arranged and there
was nothing that he could do. Obviously a lot goes
on behind the scenes
and I learned that all members of the Scientific
Commission were booVed
into the Hilton Hotel where they had a private
hospitality suite.
Unfortunately Cole had to move to another hotel
because of the cost at
the Hilton.
In the absence of any attack, one of my main
impressions was that
the overall position in relation to filters and
ventilation is becoming
more complex and diffuse. This relates primarily
to the papers on the
CY filter and on-line laser perforation. Although
these developnumis
do not specifically ensure separation of the
diluting air and the smoLe,
they effect a separation which may be almost
complete in. some case.;.
Notes on these developments and copies of the
papers are attached.
