Pursuant to Public Law 105-119, the undersigned members of the U.S. Census Monitoring Board (CMB) hereby transmit our final report to Congress.

The following report represents over three years of dedicated service to the cause of an accurate Census 2000. It embodies not only our legacy, but also our belief that the census, as a foundation of democracy, should count every single individual in our great nation. It is also our hope that this final report will serve as a useful roadmap for Census 2010.
