This move was followed by a letter to the Bureau protesting its defective methods and calling for an immediate recount in selected areas as a realistic approach to check accuracy. The Census and Statistics Subcommittee was again instrumental in setting up a series of meetings with the Bureau and persuading it to guarantee proper identification of Mexicanorigin persons on a 100percent basis in future censuses. These meetings only confirmed what I had earlier suspected about the Bureaus ineptness in reaching lowincome families. particularly those living in the innercity. the barrio. and the migrant community. The Bureau did not provide a Spanish or bilingual questionnaire on a routine basis and relied too heavily on the mailoutmailback procedure. despite the fact that many Latinos needed help to fill out the lengthy Englishonly forms. Further. the Bureau showed insensitivity in its hiring practices. failing to employ adequate numbers of bilingual enumerators and community education specialistscensustakers and advisers who had the trust and support of the Latino community.
