Review of Major Census Bureau Programs in 1993 Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Census, Statistics and Postal Personnel of the Committee on Post Third Congress, First Session Tuesday, Mar

This book provides a transcript of a congressional hearing about initiatives by the Census Bureau. The discussion centers around four topics: (1) The 2000 Census Research, (2) Collaboration with the Postal Service, (3) Agriculture and Economic Censuses, and (4) Management Service Reorganization. The hearing focuses on the need for adaptations to enhance the accuracy of decennial census data. The author hopes to afford Congress a more nuanced understanding of the Census Bureau's strategies so that the appropriate legislation and resources are provided. The significance of the book lies in its recording of frank, detailed deliberations about the challenges and opportunities inherent to the on-going evolution of our Census Bureau.
