re TIN 

We have received your proposed stipulations about an hour ago. We cannot agree to 5, 7, or 8, 

because they are untrue. We cannot agree to 16 or 18 because each is misleading. 

Dear Tiare: 

We can agree to 1, 2, 3,4, 9, and 19. 

With corrections or additions to reflect “context” we can agree to 6, 13, 14, 15, 17. 

With wording changes we could agree to 10, 11, 12, and 13. 

Here are our proposals: 

4 While the 1982 Plan divided four counties and the 1992 Plan divided 44 counties, the 1997 

Plan divides 22 counties. Six of these are in the 12" District and 10 are in the First District.

{ 

13. District 12's African-American total population was reduced from 56.63 percent in the 1992 

Plan to 46.67% in the 1997 Plan and 35.58% in the 1998 Plan. 

  

   

    

   

  

j Fa in the 1992 plan to 43.36 percent in the 1997 Plan and 32.56% in the 1998 Plan. 

5 . The dispersion compactness score of District 12 was 0.045 in the 1992 Plan and 0.109 in the 

1997 Plan, North Carolina’s congressional districts in the 1982 Plan had an average dispersion 

score of .36, a low of .26 and a high of .57.

LN measured by their dispersion and perimeter scores, the levels of compactness for North 

Carolina's twelve congressional districts increased in the 1997 Plan as compared to the 1992 Plan, 

but remains lower as compared to the 1982 Plan,
