6. One suggested exercise for Research PlannIng was to
consider the optimum direction for research In the event of
funds being (a) increased by 30*, (b) decreased by 30%.
7. One function of the T.-R.C. :Ls to'develop biological
tests which are acceptable to the top medical authorities.
A suggestion was made to apply technological forecasting
in order to predict when such tests would be available. it:
would be necessary to recruit a man specially for -this job.
11. Supplying the demands of socially accepta,bLe habits
a,
othe= than smoking Is an area of womlc which could possibly
be contracted -to Battelle. Firms such as B.A. S.F. and
Gane=al Foods are already showing interest In this area.
12. Since the conference, Information has been received
that Johnson and Johnson (U.S.A.) are entering the A. -e Id of.
artlflclal s.mokIng materials.
15. Concerning the use of AMCEL, or other S.14, In Cigarette.%,
group policy Is to be-second rather than flrst In the field.
This makes sense in view of the possibility that the present
antL-smok-ang lobby may switch its attention from tobacco to
SX on introduction of the latter. SM will not be used
z=less endorsed'. by an outside agency. i:n ihe meantLme, we
=,fit pay close attention to such matters as the long term
effect of sidestream smoke from AbW3M. Tn fact, a programme
of work is needed ln order to study sidestrea-m smoke from
all cigarettes, including conventional cigarettes, to cover
Its composition, Irritation and other biological effects. C:)
Mr. Hobson's policy was reaffirmed - that B-A. T. must pay
co
due diligence to all artificial smoking materials. co

17. AMCEL I own figures for the latest variant of CYT-v-c-4.,
show that, by. long term skin painting, Its Specific activity
Is 60% that of tobacco lamina.
AXCEL are prepared to give a warranty for their
materIal provided It. Is not xmixed with tobacco; this Implies
that they will add nicotine to it-
20. Any joint venture with Wiggins TeaLpe must have a
tobacco man In charge.- . It Is possible that Canada may go
In with Schwett2er, Canada holding the majority of shares.
21. Australia are already using Srs sodium carboxymethyl-
cellulose as a binder In their PCL.
25. Canada a-re convinced -that I.T.G. Bristol, have the
best trained tobacco buyers In the world.
29. B. & W. are seriously Interested In Reynolds' puf ted
tobacco. The Use of froon in the puffing process is said
to leave no residues of fluorine, which seems unbelievable.
31. A new pat&nt- for a paper fl-Iter taz recently granted
to Xttller.
34. In connection with HALLMARK cigarettes, Lt was stated
at the Conference, and accepted without question, t-%at the C=)
taste of a c1garet-te La judged by the smoking public an the
00
first- three puffs. co

36. By using a computer to study the pattern of McDonald's
tobacco purchases, Canada lot much nearer to the blend
composition. of Export A than by any other means. This
approach would be a useful exercise for K.S.D., with possi.:Dle
applIcations In South Africa, Denmark and New Zealand.
41. In order to achieve enhanced flavour in-low TPH
cigarettes It might be possible to make use of the flavou=
characteristics of products already available in the group.
It was suggested that a first stop In this direction might
be to circulate throughout the group samples of k-reteks,
bidis, Chax=:Lnar cigarettes, etc., which have unique flavour
and have never been tested for acceptance outside their
respective countries of origin.
SS. The work an phostoxLn should be published when cocgp.leted.
If the results show that the risks are acceptable, phost.WdLa
can then be used.
