• Letter to Philip Morris from the Tax Foundation 

Thanks to Philip Morris' support, 2000 was a very successful year for the Tax Foundation. As the I want to take a minute to tell you about the exciting plans we have for the year and request that Philip Moms renew its annual support for the Tax Foundation in the amount of $50,000.00. I would also like to see Philip Morris continue as a gold sponsor of the Tax Foundation's 64th Annual Dinner in the amount of $7,500.00. Furthermore, I would also ask that Philip Moms make a $25,000.00 contribution toward the Tax Foundation's Excise Tax Conference held early in January at Jacksonville, Florida. . .

One of the most important projects we now have underway is our Next Generation Tax Model project. Patrick Fleenor, our Chief Economist, is just weeks away from completing the first stage of this project - a "static" tax model similar to that used by Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation and other organizations such as Citizens for Tax Justice. This new model will allow us to analyze President George W. Bush's tax proposal, as well as congressional tax plans, in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks. . .

I have enclosed an invoice itemizing these contributions
