Seligman Date: November 13, 1963 From: H. Wakeham Subject: Selective Nicotine Removal At one time we talked about a proposal for a pilot plant to carry out the Staley process. What is the status of this pilot plant design and estimate? Maybe we should bring this proposal and estimate up-to-date so that if there is some move to make quantities of extract tobacco, we can present a statement as to how quickly we could get into production on a limited scale. HW/jst HW also RBS I think we might go for the design without waiting for the HTI test. How much will it cost? H. Wake 11/15/63 If you recall - we said we would wait for the results of the consumer panel test (HTI) before going outside for a firm engineering design and cost estimate. This is where we are except that my needle evidently hit a nerve in that the HTI test is now and the cigarettes are now late! ? If you want to do the engineering study earlier - it can be arranged. I believe we wanted to go to for the design and cost estimate. RBS
