Neither, I think. You can quote the URL like this:


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used\footnote{Available at:
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/
#+END_LaTeX
}.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

although  it *is* better to use the \url macro, so that hyperref will do its thing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used\footnote{Available at:
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\url{http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/}
#+END_LaTeX
}.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But why not let org handle the footnote for you?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used[fn:1].


* Footnotes

[fn:1] Available at: http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This has the advantage that it works when exported to HTML as well.
Section 2.10, "Footnotes", of the manual describes how to enter/use
footnotes like this.

HTH,
Nick
