The last sentence of paragraph 2 indicates how the code date was extended by 6 months merely to give the tobacco company representatives time to "special offer" the stale product to unsuspecting consumers.

     The realities of the fourth paragraph were if the tobacco representatives failed to push stale product onto the unsuspecting public, raises were withheld in addition to other punative measures because, as mentioned, nvestigations were threatened as a direct means of intimidation to force them to comply.
