Nichols endorsement reflects a close working relationship between the two. In February 2000 Wirthlin co-authored a report with [[Nichols-Dezenhall]], as it was then known, urging its clients to counter the [[precautionary principle]]. "Enlist surrogates who can effectively attack the Precautionary Principle and its misapplications. Language and positioning are all-important. Beware of saying that industry opposes the Precautionary Principle. Activists will seize on that to imply that big business does not care about people's health and safety," they warned.
