“Following the revelation of links between TASSC, Milloy and the tobacco industry, largely as a result of lawsuits brought against the industry by US state governments, Milloy left the Cato Institute. Milloy maintains TASSC and a similar organisation, Citizens for the Integrity of Science based at his home in Maryland. The website for CFIS, formerly at cfis.org is no longer active … The internet site, CFIS.org Citizens for the Integrity of Science, is registered to Steven Milloy’s home address in Potomac, MD, with Milloy listed as the administrative contact. In a May 11, 1999 Freedom of Information Act filed by Citizens for the Integrity of Science posted on the Junkscience web page, Steve Milloy listed himself and Michael Gough of the Competitive Enterprise Institute as directors of Citizens for the Integrity of Science, with TASSC’s old 1155 Connecticut address and contact info, which is also Milloy’s current business address.

«Milloy’s organization had been secretly formed in 1993 by tobacco giant Philip Morris with the goal of creating uncertainty about the health hazards posed by secondhand smoke.» - ExxonMobil Helps Form ‘Global Climate Science Team’ – History Commons – http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=GlobalClimateScienceTeam#GlobalClimateScienceTeam
«ExxonMobil helps create the Global Climate Science Team (GCST), a small task force that is charged with discrediting the scientific consensus opinion that greenhouse gases are warming the planet. Members of the task force include ExxonMobil’s senior environmental lobbyist, Randy Randol; the American Petroleum Institute’s public relations representative, Joe Walker; and Steven Milloy, who heads a nonprofit organization called the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition.»
