Dear Editor,
I refer to the editor’s note to my letter on March 5, 2009 of SN with the caption “Ms Lowden has been misguided by her ‘sources.”
I note the response from Mr. Rakesh Latchana of Ram and McRae who stated that he sought confirmation from the Heritage Foundation, and received the following note:
“This is to confirm that at no point in our research for the 2009 Index of Economic Freedom did we consult Ram & McRae directly or use any materials from their website or elsewhere.”
I want to reaffirm that my sources insist that persons associated with Ram and McRae inputted the Index of Economic Freedom.
However, according to the Heritage Foundation since Ram & McRae was not consulted directly, did they make an input ‘indirectly’?
Before I bring closure, I would also like to note that, I have no association with the Office of the President. Marissa Lowden
