 Expressing the support of Congress for activities to increase public 
                 participation in the decennial census.

Whereas the decennial census is required by article I, section 2, clause 3 of 
        the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas, in order to achieve a successful decennial census, the joint efforts of 
        Federal, State, and local government, and of other institutions, groups, 
        organizations, and individuals will be needed;
Whereas the Bureau of the Census has implemented a partnership program through 
        which a comprehensive outreach, education, and motivation campaign is 
        being carried out to encourage all segments of the population to 
        participate in the upcoming census; and
Whereas it is fitting and proper that Congress seek to promote the efforts of 
        the Bureau of the Census, and of the other aforementioned institutions, 
        organizations, groups, and individuals to achieve a successful decennial 
        census: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) recognizes the importance of achieving a successful 
        decennial census;
            (2) encourages State and local governments, community 
        leaders, and all other parties involved in this joint 
        undertaking to continue to work to ensure a successful census;
            (3) reaffirms the spirit of cooperation that exists between 
        Congress and the Bureau of the Census with respect to achieving 
        a successful census; and
            (4) asserts this public partnership between Congress and 
        the Bureau of the Census to promote the decennial census.

            Passed the House of Representatives November 2, 1999.

            Attest:

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.
