Mr. President. I rise today to offer my support as a cosponsor to S. Con. Res 12. This resolution expresses the sense of the Congress that the decennial census should collect data on the ancestral backgrounds of all Americans. Ours is a nation of immigrants. of people with many different. ethnic origins and backgrounds. People came here from around the world to become a part of a nation of opportunity and freedom. They did not come here to forget who they are and where they came from. The Census Bureau has collected information on ancestry and ethnic composition In the past two decennial censuses.
