I refer you to item (iii) S&H 5 of CAC III, also
to "CAC III
Action Paper" May 24, which indicate that CAC Cos.
have
responsibility that governments be involved in
epidemiological
studies on smokers of low tar cigarettes. Attached
is a copy of
correspondence with Dr. Tbny Miller, Director of
Epidemiology,
National Cancer Institute of Canada. I had sent
him a copy of
TFVs Research Paper 14 Part II and shall send him
Part I, as he
has requested.
I have two possible avenues to explore in
pramoting the idea of
epidemiological studies of low tar cigarettes, one
being Miller
and the other the people in Ottawa. In reality
they are one and
the same because Ottawa uses Miller as a chief
advisor - When
answering Miller's letter I would like to sow a
seed and ask him
if he knows whether any Canadian epidemiology is
contemplated
and under what auspices such studies might best be
organized.
Paul Par6 favors such an approach subject to
advice from
Pat Sheehy (the latter particularly in regard to
any kind7f 7COSI
consideration). I'll try to reach you by phone
next week to get
the view frcrn "the Centre."
With kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
