Reagan's TV address nets funds despite weak ratings
Ronald Reagan's national telecast drew poor Nielsen ratings third in a field of three with 6.5 million homes watching, opposing programs in 27 million homes. Campaign officials say the speech raised 450000 to 500000 dollars, financing Texas and southern/western races while production cost about 100000. Loren Smith called the return a massive amount. Support pours in with thousands of wires and tens of thousands of letters reported from Lubbock Texas after the address. Smith adds the campaign’s money picture remains tight with assets near 1 million anticipated in the next report covering through March 31.
