May, 1975

May is a month of assessment and decision. Carter returns to Georgia in mid-May having finished his visits to 10 or 12 key states.

Based on the travels of previous months, tantative decisions must be made on

1. which primaries to enter;
2. how and where to spend the summer months;
3. organizational problems and potential within each key state.

Field staff follows up on state visits, collecting names of persons and organizing whenever possible.

Decisions are made on additional staff members to be added in July.

Final budget for balance of the year should be reviewed and approved.
