    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting the 1990 Population and
    Apportionment Statistics
    January 3, 1991

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        Pursuant to title 2, United States Code, section 2a(a), I am
    transmitting the statement showing the apportionment population for each
    State as of April 1, 1990, and the number of Representatives to which
    each State would be entitled.
        The population counts set forth herein are subject to possible
    correction for undercount or overcount. The Department of Commerce is
    considering whether to correct these counts and will publish corrected
    counts, if any, not later than July 15, 1991.
        Sincerely,

                                                                 George Bush

                        Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S.
                            Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
                            and Dan Quayle, President of the Senate.
