Computer Learns Political Trade Writes Letters and More
In Washington Democrats unveil a room sized computer able to write up to 1000 personalized letters per hour for Democratic congressmen. It signs letters and may later identify unregistered potential voters for turnout drives. The system handles mailing lists, addressing, and accounting with over 5 million names on magnetic tape. The machine, leased at about $5,000 monthly with $11,000 monthly payroll, is supervised by Jerry Blaine and a 15 person staff.
