Re: [gov1000-list] LaTeX table formatting (unrelated to final)

I have included the code for a table I am working on for another class; however I'm having two problems. The second and third columns contain the same number of characters yet one is way larger than the other. I want them to be the same size. Second problem is trying to include footnotes in the table. Using \footnotemark is not working within the caption of the chart? Any help would be appreciated as I am about 3 or 4 frustrating errors away from doing the document in Word Perfect.
