This suggestion worked perfectly.  I downloaded the latest UEFI iso
image from the repository:

tails-i386-feature_uefi-1.0-20140324T1026Z-dd350d4.iso

and used InfraRecorder to burn a live DVD.  I then booted the DVD into
Tails 1.0 and used the Tails "Clone & Install" option to created a
bootable USB stick.  The USB was a 64GB Lexar.  I was then able to boot
the USB stick on my Lenovo W520 and modify the stick to persistent.  The
persistent version booted fine and I have been able to download and save
a file.

It all seems to work!
