Bureau’s statistical programs are
inclusive and continue to provide the
Nation with accurate, relevant, and
timely statistics.

and grass roots issues, and capture
regional and local perspectives about
Census Bureau surveys and programs.
The Committee should use technology
and video/web conferencing to reduce
meeting and travel costs, and to more
fully engage local and regional working
groups and hard to count populations.
The Committee functions solely as an
advisory body under the FACA.
