Census Bureau review finds no need for action

Monday, July 31, 2000 | 11:07 a.m.

The Census Bureau has completed a review of 15 regions in the country, including Las Vegas, and "has found no need for further action," the agency's director said Friday.

Last week Rep. Dan Miller, R-Fla., said improper procedures may have been used during the door-to-door operation that ended in June at the 15 local offices.

"In each case the increased pace of field work by dedicated census takers, either at the beginning or end of our door-to-door phase, is consistent with the staff resources applied to the situation," Director Kenneth Prewitt said. "Nothing new came out of the re-review we conducted this week."

He said Miller's census subcommittee report on the 15 operations was "seriously flawed."

Quality-check operations on the census will continue until September, Prewitt said.
