Mr. Speaker. why did Secretary of Commerce Mosbacher rule that there ought not be an adjustment to the census? Politics. Why did the White House call up some members of the supposedly nonpartisan expert panel and urge them to come out against adjustments? Politics. Why is it that a Republican administration does not want counted people in the inner cities. minorities. immigrants. and others who tend to vote Democratic? Politics. My colleagues. whatever integrity the census had was ruined by Secretary Mosbachers decision yesterday. and we need a change. For that reason today Senator MOYNIHAN and myself are introducing legislation that would set up a nonpartisan committee to reexamine the way we count and to determine the most accurate. fair. nonpartisan. and nonpolitical way of counting all the millions of people who are in America.
