IRP could work with us as well as [[APCO Worldwide|APCO]] in a coordinated manner." According to a Philip Morris document, "IRP is now a viable organization that can address various regulatory issues. IRP has established a coalition representing the interests of a broad array of industries and trade associations. Additionally, IRP has established a relationship with many state and local governments throughout the U.S. The coalition could address a number of regulatory issues of interest to PM in 1993."[http://tobaccodocuments.org/landman/2046662829-2837.html]
