Memorandum

To:	Presiding Judge Edward H. Johnson
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Oath of Office
Date:	September 22, 1998

I have spoken with Sharon of the Secretary of State's Office who will send out the necessary paperwork to the elected officials. You will not have to take any steps to receive this information. Sharon stated since the Elections Division is fully computerized, that this process will occur very quickly after November 3.

I suggest that if you do not receive the information within two weeks after the General Election, that you contact me so that I may follow up on it. After you receive your materials from the Secretary of State's Office, it will be self explanatory and you will be given the oath of office by any judge authorized to administer oaths.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I shall tickle my calendar to check with you on November 17 to ascertain if you have received this information.

Thank you.
