| California's 1997 budget bill had a provision prohibiting disbursing any of the $60 |
| million in tobacco research funds for "partisan political purposes." All such funding |
| would have to be approved by a panel of political appointees. Statehouse staffers tell |
| reporters "This is to get Stan", referring to Stanton Glantz, who published work |
| showing the relationship between tobacco campaign contributions and lawmakers' |
| propensity to vote with the industry. The state's top universities are refusing to accept |
| any of the $60 million if the restrictive provisions stand. |
