| |    US Census Monitoring Board Information THE U.S. CENSUS MONITORING BOARD
In November 1997, Congress established the eight-member Census Monitoring Board: four members appointed by Congress, four by the President, charged “to observe and monitor all aspects of the preparation and implementation of the 2000 Decennial census.” The issue is the Census Bureau’s plan to count over 275 million Americans in 2000 – a process which will determine both Congressional apportionment and the allocation of billions of federal dollars. This is the third in a series of reports to Congress. Earlier reports were released in February and April 1999. Additional reports are scheduled through September 2001.
The Congressional members of the Census Monitoring Board welcome your input. We can be reached at our offices in Suitland, Maryland, or via e-mail at feedback@cmbc.gov. For more information on the census, or to download this or other reports, visit our web site at www.cmbc.gov.
