1992 Feb 12 In-house lawyer, Mary Ward, of RJ Reynolds has written to the ETS Executive Committee. Covington & Burling's (C&B) staff lawyer, Melinda Sidak, has provided the companies with an outline of the ASHRAE activities and they are trying to load up the IAQ standards committees with their lobbyists.

(Max) Layard, (Maurice) LeVois, (Alan J) Gross, and possibly (Philip) Witorsch will apply for membership [3]

[ASHRAE = the American Society of Heating Refrigeration & Air-conditioning Engineers -- which effectively set worldwide standard -- and was therefore a primary target for tobacco influence.]
