OPINION ONLY

Some key documents

1986 Aug: The Regional Vice Presidents (RVPs) and Regional Directors (RDs) of the Tobacco Institute in charge of various areas have supplied comments on their Economic Witnesses and other resources.

Non-scientific witnesses
Vern Dempsey, on the sampling issue, was given high marks. He was judged to be quite effective and a "really good" witness. One RVP, however, voiced concern that Mr. Dempsey may be overused, citing the need for similar witnesses.

    Other witnesses receiving very positive comments were: Covington & Burling's Ed Beder and John Rupp; James Hargrove (National Black Police Officers Association); and Walker Merryman [later PR for the Tobacco Institute]
