1986 Mar 12 Memo to Wally Hayes and Paul Bruns at Nabisco. Wally is RJR Corporate Toxicologist and he holds the corporate membership of the Toxicology Forum and Society of Toxicology.

The memo reports that Bruce Ames, (creator of the quick bacterial Ames test for gross toxicity) who worked with and for the tobacco industry, has begun promoting the idea that chemical pesticides are no more dangerous than the natural pesticides in plants. The antioxidant claims to protect from cancer is also being promoted. [4]
1986 July 19 Francis Roe's Report on a Toxicology Forum meeting at Aspen July 13-18. He is reporting to Philip Morris on the EPA's interest in radon -- as an alternative cause of lung cancer. This became a useful 'alternative' to the tobacco hypothesis for the lung cancer epidemic. [5]]

[Roe was a long-term paid tobacco science adviser and lobbyist from the UK. This is from Philip Morris files.]

1986 Dec 15 Dr Wally Hayes represents RJ Reynolds on the Toxicology Forum program committee. [6]

[Note: the Toxicology Forum was run as a subsidiary of the International Life Sciences Institute (controlled by Coca Cola, Nestle, etc) via shared administration of Alex Malaspina (who did backdoor deals with the tobacco industry and worked with the chemical and food processing industries). It was a corporate-controlled alternative to the Toxicology Society. However it is difficult to know how much science corruption was involved because both good and bad toxicologists were in the groups.]

1989 Sep 27 Hayes was a key member of the Tobacco Institute's 'core constituency' of disinformation executives and lawyers who receive carbon copies of confidential information about the Tobacco Institute's corrupt activities.

This key document is a briefing by James W Johnston, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Tobacco Institute, about their propaganda and science-corruption operations. [See the cc list on last page.] [7]

They jointly ran a firm on the side know as Newman Partners Ltd. (NPL) This was also called "the Newman Firm" in some tobacco documents, and it became used for science PR advice by Philip Moris.
