William Alan Hazeltine is a biophysicist and cancer specialist who took part in the early Rainbow Project which involved a large donation from Philip Morris. At the time of this CV he was with the Harvard School of Public Health. [ http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/vsh46e00/pdf]

In 1990 he became part of the early Rainbow Project

There appears to be two phases to the Rainbow Projects -- with the earliest in 1989. See Philip Morris file with Bates: 2023027845/2023028078 These files were held in Bill Murray's office, which suggests very high-level political dealing. It appears that it was to do with AIDS. And this seems to have involved the tobacco industry making strategic concessions to Congress in exchange for a period of peace. 

Dr William Hazeltine was listed in a 1994 report by the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution as a member of the think tank's 'Academic Advisory Board'.

He was also listed as a supporter of The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition. (He was identified as an "individual" supporter living in Oroville, California). He also authored a paper, titled The DDT Case, for presentation at a "Seminar Sponsored by the International Center for Scientific Ecology" on May 10, 1993 in Paris. In the paper Hazeltine, who was listed as being from Oroville, wrote that he was "an Entomologist-Ecologist by training, who used DDT for crop protection, and for control of public health pests".
