Data Notes
==========
The History Data Service recommends using the candidate fields rather
than the "vote" field. The "vote" field is included as this is how the
data was originally deposited with the History Data Service.



Using the Data
==============
The data contains apostrophes and commas, but is tab delimited. Some
software packages may misinterpret the apostrophes and commas as field
delimiters on import.

When importing the data in Excel95/97/2000/2002 users should use the
text import wizard and specify that the "vote" field is text. 



Documentation
=============
The documentation file "code.pdf"/"code.rtf" has been created by the
History Data Service based on information supplied by the depositor.
