Philip Morris provided the services of Dr. Eichorn to re-evaluate the proposal presented by Drs. Finkner and Sweeney of the Research Triangle Institute at the meeting of the Research Directors of Brown & Williamson, Philip Morris, & L&M at L&M Operations Center in North Carolina on Friday, May 24, 1968.

In 1982, the American Red Cross was trying to enact a policy to discourage smoking in its facilities.  Eichorn delivered a speech opposing the measure to the American Red Cross on behalf of Philip Morris and the Tobacco Institute in which he stated,


 * Smoking can, of course, be a source of annoyance to some persons in some situations. The solution to that social problem, however, is application of courtesies, not control of behavior by rules and regulations.
