In response, the panel produced an interim report that focused on recommendations for improvements in census methodology that warranted early investigation and testing. This report updates and expands the ideas and conclusions about decennial census methodology. In preparing this online edition, the panel's study directors, Constance Citro (currently, CNSTAT director) and Michael Cohen (currently, CNSTAT senior program officer), carefully proofread the original text only to correct previously undetected typographical and formatting errors UR - https://libproxy.firstcity.edu.my:8443/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1131307 ER -
