Let me begin by quoting Matt Lauer this morning:

"LAUER: Katie pressed him on that, and then we -- we did some research. We went to the Center for Responsive Politics and we found out that, technically speaking, Howard Dean may be correct. But here's what we found: that 66 percent of the money in this situation went to Republicans, but 34 percent of the money -- not from Abramoff, but from his associates and clients -- went to Democrats."

Very simply, this non-correction does not make clear that NONE of Abramoff's money went to Democrats. Lauer implies a connection - where none has been shown to exist - between the money from the Indians and the money from Abramoff. I ask that you have either Matt Lauer or Katie Couric issue an honest correction that states the facts and does not attempt to muddy the waters with irrelevant information.

Thank you.
