## Editorial note

Names, titles and organizations are transcribed as printed on each letter; the normalization that merges renamed organizations and name variants is layered on top and is documented in the dataset guide. Appearing here records only that a name was printed on a letter in the dataset; it is not a characterization of the person's own views.
