Poll finds public skeptical
of proposed tobacco leal
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ameri
cans are highly suspicious of the pro
posed tobacco deal, saying it won’t
even achieve a prime objective of
lowering teen-age smoking unless
cigarette prices rise much more than
expected, according to an Associat
ed Press poll.
More than half of those surveyed
say the deal is not worth giving up the
key concession that cigarette makers
demand — banning class-action
lawsuits. And two-thirds expect to
bacco companies to sell as many cig
arettes as ever.
Seventy percent say the price of a
pack of cigarettes would have to rise
by more than $1 — much more than
expected under the deal — to have
much effect on teen smokers.
Congress and President Clinton
begin grappling with die proposed
deal next month, and such poll find
ings are bound to figure in the debate.
“This reflects a huge amount of
cynicism and skepticism about to
bacco,” said Massachusetts Attorney
General Scott Harshbarger, who in
sists the public is missing the deal’s
good points.
“If it is left to the current, polariz
ing debate... this is going to be a ma
jor problem. We will miss an oppor
tunity that may not come again, and
tobacco wins."
The findings present a dilemma
for deal supporters, who would
like to toughen some provisions
but without going so far that to
bacco companies back out. Yet,
public distrust plays into deal op
ponents’ hands.
Indeed, critics immediately
seized on the findings.
“The American people have it
right: They’re not against a settle
ment, they’re against a bad settle
ment,” Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-
N.J., said in a statement. “It’s exactly
this kind of public opposition to the
deal that’s going to force Congress to
make significant changes.”

Ron Brown’s son pleads guiti
WASHINGTON (AP) —The son of the late Commerce
Secretary Ron Brown pleaded guilty Thursday to a mis
demeanor election-law violation, admitting he gave
$4,000 to friends to donate to a Senate campaign.
The admission by Michael A. Brown was part of a deal
with the task force set up by the Justice Department to in
vestigate campaign fund-raising abuses. It was the third
plea obtained by the task force.
Brown, 32, admitted in federal court to giving an un
lawfully excessive donation to the 1994 re-election cam
paign of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
Prosecutors agreed not to recommend any prison
term for Brown, who could be sentenced to up to a year
and fined as much as $100,000. Sentencing was sched
uled for Nov. 21.
As part of tire deal, Brown agreed to cooperate with the
Justice Department’s investigation of fund-raising abus
es and of Nolanda Hill, a former business partner of Ron
Brown, prosecutor Raymond N. Hulser told reporters.
Hill’s dealings with Ron Brown had been scrutinized
by an independent counsel appointed to investigate the
former commerce secretary. The Hill investigation was
referred to the Justice Department last year after Ron
Brown and others on a U.S. trade mission died api
crash in Croatia.
Michael Brown, a Washington lawyer, adnniij
after donating the maximum $2,000 that an if
donor can contribute to a candidate, he gave Klfl
his secretary and $1,000 apiece to two friends at|
firm so the money could be donated in their i
Kennedy’s campaign.
