Q:

Percy Sutton, who is the past Borough president of Manhattan, past Assemblyman, and now he's a broadcast mogul of sorts, is he not?

Clark:

Sure. Inner City Broadcasting.

Q:

Is this still doing polling?

Clark:

Yes, when we get around to it. When we get clients.

Q:

Did you find it particularly difficult to set up samples for your polling?

Clark:

Oh, sure. When we started we were the first ones to try to get a national sample of blacks, and it was really difficult and expensive.

Q:

Did you call for advice from certain of the established pollsters such as--

Clark:

[Louis] Harris.

Q:

[ ] Roper and Lou Harris?

Clark:

Yes, but didn't get very far. So we had to set up our own. We had such contractors polling many of whom we had worked with Harris.
