World almanac Book of world War ii Bison books corp., 1981 a Washington apr Commerce Secretary Robert a.

Sawyer a Ohio accused Mosbacher of standing a outside of compliance with the  he said the Law required Mosbacher to either produce the tapes or to appear before the subcommittee to explain the decision.

The subcommittee last month ordered Mosbacher to give Congress tapes containing corrected census information for 6.9 million chunks of territory Many of them As Small As a City Block. The census Bureau counted 248.7 million americans in 1990. But the Agency later estimated it missed 5.3 million people. The Agency said poor Urban Blacks and hispanics were More Likely to be missed than others. Mosbacher in july decided against using the estimates to Correct the census count. He said the corrections themselves were inaccurate and refused to make the information Public. Darby said the department would give the subcommittee a sampling of half the corrected census information As Welt As numbers for places with 1,000 people or More. He said the department s census experts had found that the corrections themselves were off by More than 1 million people and perhaps by several million. Census figures Are used to adjust boundaries of election districts so that each person elected to a legislative body represents about the same number of people. Moreover some Federal Aid programs Are based on population. This year census data influences $116 billion in government spending.
