                      CENSUS BUREAU OUT OF CONTROL

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the Census Bureau is literally out of 
control. Check this out: Reports now say that the Census Bureau is, 
quote/unquote, willing to sacrifice a true head count of American 
citizens for more personal detailed information. Unbelievable. Forms 
with questions about your bank account, your cars, how many bathrooms 
you have, your job. What is next, Congress, your sex life?

[[Page H1420]]

  The Constitution mandates a simple head count by a Census taker, not 
an audit by some bureaucratic intrusive nincompoop. I yield back the 
manipulations of both American citizens and our great Constitution by 
the Census Bureau.
