NB: all of the former Council members became SRF members; Katsuki was named director of the foundation, and the rest joined its SAB. Published titles are from listings of SAB members in SRF literature.20 Quotes in the far-right column are from handwritten notes in a 1986 Philip Morris internal document (underline in original).52
*For these two members, there were no handwritten notes in the typed information given to PM, probably because these men were already known to PM; for Fukuma, ‘Corporate Advisor…’ was typed on the internal document.
