To CT's Congressmen, V.P.

The settlement has no bearing on any such criminal proceedings, whether grounded in federal, state, or local law. [MSA XII(a)(7)]. The agreement also makes an express exception for state suits concerning tax liabilities or liabilities under any licensing fee provisions. [MSA II(nn)(1)]. Finally, the agreement does not preclude the states from going to court to enforce the commitments undertaken by the tobacco companies in the settlement agreement and the associated consent decrees. Tobacco companies state Income Tax Fraud & state Sales Tax Fraud in Connecticut alone is conservatively estimated at between $1-$3 BILLION DOLLARS. The Shuster Project has informed all
