 STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN WM. LACY CLAY (D) MISSOURI,
CHAIRMAN, HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON INFORMATION POLICY, CENSUS AND NATIONAL ARCHIVES
REGARDING $1.6 BILLION IN SAVINGS FOR CENSUS 2010

NOTE:  The following is a
first-person statement from
Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri.
Chairman, House Subcommittee on Information Policy,
Census and National Archives
 
"This is great news for the Census and for the taxpayers.  The $1.6 billion in savings is a tribute to the hard-working Census workers and the extraordinary leadership of Census Director, Dr. Robert Groves. 

When the numbers come in, I am hopeful that our unprecedented efforts to be inclusive, and to reach out to hard –to-count populations in new, innovative ways, will produce big savings and a more complete count for the American people."
