Dear Mr. Casey:
I am writing to ask to meet with you concerning a research project,
funded by the National Science Foundation, dealing with presidential
nomination campaigns. Specifically, I am investigating how strategic
decisions, in terms of the amount of time and money spent in various
state contests, are made. To this end, I will be interviewing the
key decision-makers of significant candidates in the 1976 Democratic
and 1980 Republican nomination campaigns. This is not a journalistic
inquiry; I am not interested in specific personalities or controversies,
but rather in the strategic decision-making processes that go on in
presidential campaigns. '
I would like to meet with you, at your convenience, preferably
between the dates of September 7 and September 16. I will contact
your office shortly for the purpose of arranging a meeting. Partici-
pation of the major decision-makers is critical to the successful
completion of this project.
