Census Project Letter to House Leadership 

07-31-2024 12:42 PM

PAA and APC signed the below letter to the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives, expressing concerns regarding the Fiscal Year 2025 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) Appropriations bill that passed the House Appropriations Committee on July 9, 2024. Specifically, the letter states that the proposed bill would undermine the ability of the Census Bureau to meet its constitutional mandate as the result of inadequate funding, and a menacing policy provision (Sec. 621) that would ruin response rates to all Census Bureau surveys and result in the decennial census and the American Community Survey (ACS) counting barely a third of the country.
