What is especially disturbing about H.R. 472. which I was pleased to hear was removed from tomorrows calendar. but what is especially disturbing about the legislation is that it is carefully worded to take on the appearance of making the census more fair when its actual intent and consequences are just the opposite. While H.R. 472 purports to doublecheck accuracy. its real effect is to prevent the use of statistical methods in the final census count. I come from a county. Cook County in Illinois. in a district that has historically been undercounted for one wellknown and welldocumented reason. We have large populations of poor. minority and immigrant residents. These are the people who will disproportionately suffer from being undercounted. John Stroger.
