Activity and turmoil going on around us. Many of us are back in washington today. Were holding this committee virtually in compliance with the regulations for Remote Committee proceedings pursuant to House Resolution 965.

Committed to counting every person regardless of citizenship or legal status under the rules of congress set in the census act of 1790. The decision to release this memo now appears designed to inflict maximum damage to the accuracy of the ongoing 2020s on this. In just two weeks, the Census Bureau will start visiting the homes of millions of people whove not yet responded to the census.
