There is a lot of overlap with the two, CIA and Big Tobacco.

Gloria Estefan’s “Save the children” tour When the Dietrich interviews previously described were rejected by Philip Morris on the grounds that the interviewees were not sufficiently well known in South America, the documents show that Dietrich offered an alternative. Popular US entertainer Gloria Estefan and Brazilian artist Xuxa would appear on a programme to publicly advocate for the importance of “vaccinating children” near the time of theconference. A letter from Dietrich to Philip Morris and copied to BAT states:
“ . . .Gloria Estefan has agreed to appear on our pro-gram and to actually host the television special. She will also agree to be interviewed for the newspaper articles and her manager has agreed to allow us to use several songs from her most recent concert tour. We now envision a one-hour television program hosted by Gloria Estefan. We have tentatively titled the television program: ‘Gloria Estefan’s Save the Children.’ Needless to say, Gloria Estefan is quite famous, not only in theUnited States but throughout Latin America.”
When asked whether this was done in direct competitionwith the 8th WCToH as the documents suggest, Dietrich replied that he did not think that was the case. He denied that BAT was involved in the media plan and PAHO denied that Dietrich was involved with PAHO’s immunisation programme.He also denied that it was part of any strategy aimed at weak-ening the 8th WCToH. PAHO officials acknowledged that the PAHO sponsored television special occurred, but disputed Dietrich’s role in it.
