      Dear colleagues:<br>
      <br>
          I hope all is well with you.  I am writing to suggest that a
      poll between Phoenix and Oklahoma City would be appropriate, and
      that the room rates for the hotels be provided prior to conducted
      the poll.  I suggest this for the following reasons:<br>
      <br>
      *  The previous poll did not allow for the expression of intensity
      of preference.  My vote for Oklahoma City was a result of the fact
      that I had to select one of the listed options in order to
      participate in the poll.  I was essentially indifferent between
      Phoenix and OKC when I voted.<br>
      <br>
      *  If we are able to hold the February meeting at a prospective
      convention hotel in Phoenix, then unless the cost of holding the
      meeting in Phoenix is substantially greater than holding it in
      OKC, my preference would change from a very weak preference for
      OKC to a weak preference for Phoenix.<br>
      <br>
      *  A poll with only the choices of Phoenix and OKC may produce an
      ordering between the two locations that is different from the one
      produced by the previous poll.<br>
      <br>
      *  If I understand correctly, the LP Oklahoma is allowed to
      conduct only one submission of signatures in its petitioning
      effort.  If so, then if the deadline for submission of signatures
      is at least a week later than Feb. 22, my gut feeling is that the
      signatures should not be submitted on or about Feb. 22.  Thus, it
      is not clear to me that one of the possible benefits of an LNC
      meeting in OKC (a press conference associated with the submission
      of the signatures) would materialize.<br>
      <br>
          As always, thanks for your work for liberty.  I look forward
      to seeing you next month.<br>
      <br>
          Take care,<br>
