Title: Public Issues 1994 Plans (940000)
Doc # 51253 1448 (PART 1)
Web site: http://www.rjrtdocs.com
This document unravels RJ Reynolds field force in 1994, including the names and assignments of field operatives that where in charge of coordinating and developing the smokers' rights movement in various states and how much they were paid. Many of these RJR operatives, their activities, and some internal documents were mentioned in the 1996 May/June issue of Mother Jones. Now, we have an opportunity to see the specifics.
Note of Interest: Mike Stratton and Rick Reiter are both from Colorado. Stratton was a political aide to former Governor Roy Romer.
Since this document is hard to scan, I am providing some highlights only. Next week, I'll have the field operatives and their salaries and share information on RJR recruited truck drivers.

RJ Reynolds spent more than $2,000,000 in 1994 to employ its field force. This is about half of their 1994 deployment budget. You can find out more about the activities these operatives engaged in at the RJR document site http://www.rjrtdocs.com/ Click on the 'Basic Search' button and in the first field type ('Combined Text') enter the name of the field coordinator with the last name first followed by the first letter of the first name. For instance, type in 'Gallagher, E' and documents will come up including 'Weekly Reports' that detail local and state smokers' rights actions. Gallagher traveled all over the country speaking at smokers' rights meetings. When I searched 'Fox, W' (RJR Colorado coordinator) I found about a dozen documents including the '1991 Plan for Smokers' Rights Movement in Wyoming' and a number of personal letters to smokers' rights activists who attended an RJR ETS seminar.
I also recommend reading 'Public Issues 1994,' the 43-page document that contains the information provided today.
Last year I circulated an interview with someone who knows one of the Ramhurst operatives. Mr. X stated that the RJR grassroots program is 'second to none.' Some of this outreach, which included truckers, is spelled out in the trade team program (below).
