Statement of Board Co-Chair A. Mark Neuman

"Louis Kincannon brings an extraordinary level of sensitivity to the concerns of the Latino community.  I know for a fact that Kincannon personally visited the Border area (including the Colonias) while serving at the Bureau.
 
Kincannon went to the region to learn of the concerns of local Latino residents concerned with the undercount.  Kincannon played a leadership role in defeating efforts to exclude the undocumented from the 1990 Census.  

Kincannon also had an excellent working relationship with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, such as Representative Solomon Ortiz (D-TX) , and Robert Garcia (D-NY).  Kincannon spoke to a number of Hispanic Conferences, and worked to share expertise with the Statistical Community in Mexico"
