SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Decennial Census Advisory Committee is

appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. The Committee considers the 
goals of the decennial census and users' needs for information provided

about how research and design plans for the 2010 decennial census, and 
the development of the American Community Survey and other related 
programs, will realize those goals and satisfy those needs. The members 
of the Advisory Committee draw on their experience with Census 2000 
planning and operational processes, results of research studies, test 
censuses, and results of the Census 2000 Evaluation Program to provide 
input on the design and related operations of the 2010 decennial 
census, the American Community Survey, and other related programs.
