| Foreign Relations Committee to bring the world's most lucrative emerging tobacco |
| markets to North Carolina. He and RJR on March 30, 1996 hosted a dinner for |
| Vietnam's ambassador-designate to Washington, along with six other envoys from |
| Southeast Asia. RJ Reynolds has invested $21 million in a joint-venture cigarette |

| gains opportunities in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand." |
