                       IMPORTANCE OF 2020 CENSUS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge all 
American citizens to complete the 2020 Census. The Census is an 
incredibly important tool that impacts our daily lives more than many 
people realize.
  Many important decisions impacting Federal support for education, 
healthcare, transportation and infrastructure, and more will depend 
upon data the Census provides. The more people who participate, the 
more accurate the Census will reflect the needs of our communities.
  Census takers have been working hard, going door-to-door to ensure 
everyone is counted. If you haven't been visited by a Census taker, it 
is easy to complete online. Go to my2020census.gov to make sure you and 
your family are counted. Completing the Census is easy, quick, secure, 
and very important. You can also respond by phone by calling 844-330-
2020.
  The last day to complete the 2020 Census is tomorrow, Wednesday, 
September 30. I can't stress the importance of the Census enough, and I 
encourage every American household to ensure they are counted.
