The Blackmun papers, released on March 4, 2004, span the 1971-1993 terms of the Court and are extremely important to the coding and entering of a complete and highly reliable set of data that encompasses all the preliminary and merit votes and associated variables from the second term of the Burger Court through the end of the eighth term of the Rehnquist Court, and to an expansion and successful completion of Spaeth's three-year grant (Jan 1, 2004-Dec. 31, 2006) to include in his NSF-funded databases additional data that are key to analyzing, modeling, and understanding the Court's agenda-setting process. This SGER is preparatory to a proposal to compile, analyze, code, and enter the relevant data from the papers of Justice Harry Blackmun into Spaeth's databases. The Blackmun papers are a terra incognita; we know only that they are voluminous and include virtually every document that Blackmun acquired in connection with his duties as an associate justice. We do not know how well they are organized for our purposes; if they are readily accessible; and how best to make copies under the constraints of time and cost. On the basis of our past experience, the costs of copying and supplying documents from the Library of Congress to Professor Spaeth have been a major budget item in collaborative proposals. This SGER will enable the researchers to prepare a budget that closely tracks the costs of copying the relevant documents.

2004年3月4日发布的布莱克蒙论文涵盖了最高法院1971年至1993年的任期，对于编码和输入完整且高度可靠的数据集极其重要，这些数据集涵盖了从伯格法院第二届任期到伦奎斯特法院第八届任期结束的所有初步投票和merit投票以及相关变量，对于扩展和成功完成speth的三年授权（2004年1月1日至12月1日）至关重要。31, 2006)在他的国家科学基金会资助的数据库中包括额外的数据，这些数据对于分析，建模和理解法院的议程设置过程至关重要。这次SGER是为一项提案做准备，该提案将编译、分析、编码并将哈里·布莱克蒙法官论文中的相关数据输入到speth的数据库中。布莱克蒙的文件是一个未知领域；我们只知道它们是大量的，几乎包括了布莱克曼在担任助理法官时所获得的每一份文件。我们不知道他们是如何为我们的目的组织起来的；如果它们是容易接近的；以及如何在时间和成本的限制下最好地制作副本。根据我们过去的经验，从国会图书馆复制文件并向斯佩斯教授提供文件的费用一直是合作提案中的一个主要预算项目。该SGER将使研究人员能够编制预算，密切跟踪复制相关文件的成本。
