I would like to take this opportunity to comment on information recently released by the Census Bureau which estimates the extent of the minority undercount in the 1990 census. The importance of a fair and accurate census is well established. The results of the census serve as the basis for determining a States representation in the House of Representatives and have also become important in allocating Government funds to local and State government programs. Historically. the census has undercourated minorities. undocumented workers. people with limited English skills. homeless people. and those living in inner cities. In 1987. the Census Bureau considered but declined to provide for an adjustment of the 1990 census. In response. a suit was filed by Los Angeles.
