Elaine,
I am the Tech Director at the Steubenville-Weirton, OH-WV MPO and I am
curious when we will receive the TAZ-Update program for our use. Respond
when this will be possible. Thank you very much.

Here are the states for which we have not yet received TIGER files from the
Census Bureau.
AK, DC, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, NC, OH, SC, TN, VA, WV, and WI
If your state is on this list, we have not sent you a TAZ-UP package yet.
Although the intent was to give you SIX months to complete the work, because
the Census Bureau has been delayed, I have to tell you that the "drop dead"
date is October 1 for submission to the Census Bureau. However, I hope that
everyone aims for Labor Day.
We will add a "frequently asked questions for TAZ-UP" either to the CTPP
website, or to the EDS website. By the way, for those of you who haven't
printed out the TAZ-UP user manual (from the CD), the 1-800 number for EDS is
1-800-337-2004. Other important phone numbers are on page 1-7.
Recent queries--
1. What if I want some of my new TAZs to match Census 2000 tract boundaries?
The Census 2000 tract boundaries are not included on the TIGER/Line 98 file.
You will have to contact your Census Bureau Regional Office to get the most
current information on 2000 tract boundaries. Contact information is under
"References" in the User Manual.
2. When I check my 1990 TAZs, why do I have so many "invalid" segments for
TAZ definition in water polygons?
Dave Aultman from the Census Bureau is going to address this question, and
most of those segments will be VALID for the TAZ program.

Census Monitoring Board Seeks Common Ground
In Second Report
In its second report to Congress, the Census Monitoring Board focused on
several recommendations that its eight members believe will improve
census operations aimed at historically hard-to-count population groups.
The report covers key elements of the census plan such as recruitment
and hiring temporary enumerators, outreach to people whose primary
language is not English, partnerships with local governments and
community-based organizations, and special operations to increase
response in historically hard-to-count communities.
In a cover letter to congressional leaders summarizing its findings and
recommendations, the Board urged the Census Bureau to adopt and document
standardized procedures and staffing policies in hard-to-count areas, to
help the large number of temporary enumerators do a better job
following-up with unresponsive households. It also emphasized the need
for flexibility in hiring legal non-citizens to help with the count in
immigrant neighborhoods. The report includes a series of
recommendations to clarify the respective roles of the Bureau's regional
census centers, and local and tribal governments, in establishing
Complete Count Committees in every community. The Board also emphasized
early identification of locations for Questionnaire Assistance Centers
and distribution of "Be Counted" forms, and the importance of outreach
to households with more than six residents, the disabled community, and
neighborhoods where language barriers may be prevalent.
The Board was created about 18 months ago, as part of an agreement on
census funding between congressional opponents of sampling methods and
the Administration, which supports the use of scientific methods to
supplement direct counting efforts. The four members appointed by
congressional Republican leaders and the four appointed by the President
issued separate reports on February 1, and have maintained separate
offices at Census Bureau headquarters in Suitland, Maryland. Despite
some difference of views, the eight members noted in the new report,
"there are areas of significant agreement on many of the operational
challenges the Census Bureau is facing as it prepares for the 2000
decennial."
The Board's report is available on both the congressional appointees'
web site at <http://www.cmbc.gov> and the Presidential appointees' web
site at <http://www.cmbp.gov>.
Census advisory committee activities: The Commerce Department has
renewed the charter of the 2000 Census Advisory Committee for two years.
The panel, comprised of a wide range of organizations representing state
and local officials, data users, civil rights advocates, and community
service providers, will continue to monitor final preparations and the
census itself, completing its work in March 2001. The committee's new
chairman is Mayor Ron Kirk of Dallas, TX, an attorney and former Texas
Secretary of State. The new vice chair is Marisa Demeo, Washington
Regional Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational
Fund (MALDEF) and a former civil rights attorney with the U.S.
Department of Justice.
Congressional hearing scheduled: The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
will hold a hearing on May 4 to examine plans for the 2000 census in
Indian country. The oversight hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. in
room 485 Russell Senate Office Building. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell
(R-CO) chairs the committee; Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI) is the senior
Democratic member.

On April 5, we mailed copies of TAZ-UP with TIGER files for:
CA, NE, NV, NJ, OR, and TX
For those not needing ArcView, the packages were mailed USPS. For those with
ArcView, they were mailed via FedEx 2 day.
Just as a reminder: We mailed packages on 3/22 for AL, AR, CO, CT, DE, FL,
GA, HI, ID, KS, LA, ME, MA, MS, MT, NH, NM, ND OK, PA, RI, SD, UT, VT, WA, WY.
I am waiting for ONE more AL and ONE more WA, so you may be one of the 2
organizations who are in these 2 states, but without a package!
Summary: We have not received TIGER files from the Census Bureau for 18
states and the District of Columbia. TAZ-UP requires the use of ArcView 3.1
and TIGER/Line 98. (However, for CTPP submission of TAZs, you do NOT need to
use TAZ-UP but you DO need TIGER/Line 98, as noted in previous messages.)
The TAZ-UP CD includes the software, a tutorial and the user manual. I am
trying to get the tutorial and user manual added to the contractor's website,
(Election Data Services), but it hasn't happened yet. I'll let you know as
soon as possible.

Hi,
Just a note from me, your friendly list administrator.
As you may or may not have noticed, the list has been spammed twice in the last
few weeks with advertisements. Spamming has become a ever growing problem on the
Internet and more security and preventative measures are necessary to protect
this list and the server.
In order to preven spam from coming to the list, I have modified the
configuration of the CTPP list to prevent mail from unknown users from being
forwarded to the list. You must be subscribed to the list to be able to mail to
the list.
What this means is that you must mail from the same email address that you are
subscribed from. So if you're subscribed from someaddress(a)yahoomail.com, you
must send any messages to the list from that address.
One small problem with this is that the address you email from must appear the
same in the file I am using the store the email address subscribed to the list.
So it is possible that if you send mail from SomeAddress(a)yahoomail.com and I
have someaddress(a)yahoomail.com, the mail will not get forwarded to the list.
This is not that big of a problem because all rejected email to the list will be
forwarded to me and I can forward valid email to the list.
If you have any questions about this new change or any other questions in
general please feel free to contact me.
If you have any problems with the list, also feel free to contact me.
My email address is chrisp(a)chrispy.net (chrispy(a)chrispy.net works too).
Thanks,

Census 2000 Countdown Begins
>From the cavernous streets of New York City to the sunny hillsides of
California, America's states, cities and towns are taking part this week
in a groundswell of grassroots events to mark the beginning of
"Countdown to Census 2000."
Census 2000, the 22nd national census of the United States, is scheduled
to take place on April 1, 2000, one year from Thursday. Scores of
events at all levels of state and local government are stressing the
importance of a complete and accurate census and encouraging people to
participate. These range from public rallies, to the installation of
"Complete Count Committees" and open houses at newly opened local census
offices, to activities sponsored by organizations that have already
pledged their support for Census 2000. Complete Count Committees are
made up of community, business and civic leaders who promote census
awareness at the local level.
On Thursday, an estimated 500 people in Chicago are expected to turn out
to highlight the start of a third wave of block canvassing the final
stage in a precensus operation to list all the nation's residential
addresses. The event at the Winter Garden Room of the Harold Washington
Library will feature the Chicago Housing Authority's children's choir.
Also in Chicago, at State and Madison streets, point zero of the city's
address-numbering system, city volunteers will distribute to pedestrians
census piggy-banks, with the slogan, "Census 2000 Means Money in the
Bank for the City of Chicago."
Several cities in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin plan to launch bunches
of multicolored balloons with the message, "A Year Away to Census Day."
Drill teams and marching bands will give the census events a festive air
in several cities. In Cincinnati, Ohio, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus
is slated to entertain at the inauguration of that city's complete count
committee. And in New York City, the City Council will issue a
proclamation on the steps of City Hall, stating that it will partner
with the Census Bureau to promote census participation.
The Native American Complete Count Committee for Oklahoma, hosted by the
Citizen Potawatomi Nation, will hold a Census 2000 rally in Shawnee on
Thursday.
Mayor Dennis Archer of Detroit will visit a local census office in East
Detroit, where a rally will be held by the city's multi-racial coalition
and New Detroit Inc., which is trying to revitalize Detroit's east side.
One of the Census Bureau's national partners, the Mexican American Legal
Defense Fund (MALDEF), is sponsoring 14 Census 2000 Kickoff events at
various cities around the country on March 30 and April 1. Those events
focus on persuading the Hispanic population, which was undercounted by 5
percent in 1990, to take part in Census 2000.
The main MALDEF event in Los Angeles includes an appearance and remarks
by Census Bureau Director Kenneth Prewitt. Prewitt also is scheduled to
attend a public hearing in Sacramento on April 1, convened by U.S.
Rep.Juanita Millender-McDonald, D-Calif., to emphasize the effects of
the 1990 undercount on California's communities.
In early 2000, the Census Bureau will deliver questionnaires to about
120 million housing units in the 50 states and the District of Columbia
and to another 1.5 million in Puerto Rico and the outlying islands. It
expects to receive back by mail about 79 million questionnaires.
To reach the rest, the Census Bureau plans to hire and train more than
600,000 people, who will attempt to make contact with nonrespondents
through personal visits or telephone calls. Census 2000 also is the
first census in which households that receive the short form may respond
via the Internet as long as they can provide the form's control code.

The mailout has begun. We have received TIGER files for 26 states, as
follows: AL, AR, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, KS, LA, ME, MA, MS, MT, NH, NM,
ND OK, PA, RI, SD, UT, VT, WA, WY.
Unfortunately, we have not received TIGER files for several of the larger
states, e.g. CA, TX, NY. We expect additional states' TIGER files to arrive
by Friday, March 26. Cross your fingers! We hope to do more mailings on
Monday, March 29.
We have mailed MOST of the packages for those areas for which we have TIGER
files, with some exceptions. If your planning area needs more than 1 state,
and we only have part of your area, then we didn't ship anything yet. All the
CT packages were sent to Joe Spragg at ConnDOT. I am short of WA TIGERs, and
need to get more made by the Census Bureau. I am missing one UT TIGER. I
have a few addresses which are confusing me, and I still need to do some
research on what the problem is.
Those receiving ArcView, the packages were sent via FedEx, 2nd day. Those NOT
receiving ArcView went in the regular USPS.
I'll be at the GIS-T conference in San Diego, from Mar 29-31, so I'll be out
of the office from March 26, and not returning until April 2. If your

Legislation Modifying Census Plan Heads to House Floor, As Census
Director Warns of "Disastrous" Consequences
Commerce Secretary Would Recommend Veto of Three Bills
The House Committee on Government Reform approved seven bills affecting
census operations, mostly along party lines, despite strong opposition
to three of the measures from Commerce Secretary William M. Daley.
Citing an analysis of the legislation by Census Bureau Director Kenneth
Prewitt, the Secretary told the committee in a March 16 letter that
bills requiring a post census local review, printing census forms in 33
languages and Braille, and mailing a second questionnaire to all
households would "reduce the accuracy and seriously disrupt the schedule
of Census 2000." He said he would recommend a veto if those bills reach
the President's desk in their current form.
The committee 'mark-up,' which lasted nearly six hours, highlighted the
ongoing disagreement between Republicans and Democrats on how best to
address the chronic undercount of racial minorities, children,
immigrants, and the urban and rural poor. In his opening remarks,
committee Chairman Dan Burton (R-IN) questioned why anyone would oppose
the seven proposals, saying they were "designed to get more people to
participate in the census." "I don't think [the Census Bureau is]
trying very hard to do an accurate head-count," Rep. Burton said.
Census Subcommittee Chairman Dan Miller (R-FL) said a "two-number census
is a recipe for disaster," referring to the Bureau's decision to produce
state population totals without sampling for congressional apportionment
and then to correct undercounts and overcounts in the initial tally
based on a quality-check survey. Rep. Miller sponsored all but one of
the measures approved by the committee; he was an original cosponsor of
a bill introduced by Rep. Carrie Meek (D-FL), a former committee member.
(See March 16 News Alert for a complete description of the bills
considered by the Government Reform Committee.)
The committee's senior Democrat, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), accused
Republicans of trying to "burden" the census process in order to prevent
the Bureau from tabulating corrected census numbers by the legal
deadline for transmitting redistricting data to the states. The census
panel's ranking Democrat, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) called the package
of bills "a wolf in sheep's clothing."
At its March 17 meeting, the committee approved the following bills.
There are 24 Republicans, 19 Democrats, and one Independent on the
Government Reform Committee. The full House is likely to consider at
least one of the measures next week before Congress breaks for its
spring recess.
1. The "Local Census Quality Check Act" (H.R. 472) requires a
1990-style post census local review in the 2000 census. Local and
Tribal officials would have 45 working days to review and challenge
preliminary housing unit counts or address lists and jurisdictional
boundaries before the census counts are finalized. The Bureau strongly
opposes the measure. By a 21 - 23 vote, the committee rejected an
amendment offered by Rep. Maloney to give the Census Bureau more
flexibility in designing a local review program and to ensure that the
beureau can correct the initial census counts, based on a quality-check
survey, by the legal deadline for transmission of detailed population
counts to the states. The committee then approved H.R. 472, 23 - 21.
Rep. Constance Morella (R-MD) was the only Republican to vote for the
Maloney amendment and against the bill.
2. The "Decennial Census Improvement Act of 1999" (H.R. 683)
sponsored by Rep. Meek, would make it possible for recipients of federal
benefits or pensions to take temporary census jobs without losing their
benefits or affecting the amount of their pensions. The Census Bureau
supports the bill but noted that individual states and American Indian
tribes must decide how to treat income earned by census workers in
determining eligibility for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. The
committee approved H.R. 683 by a vote of 31 - 1. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
voted against the bill.
3. The "2000 Census Mail Outreach Improvement Act" (H.R. 928)
requires the Bureau to send a second questionnaire to all households
(blanket mailing) or to households that don't return the first form
(targeted mailing). The Bureau opposes the bill based on evaluations of
its 1998 Dress Rehearsal, when it tested a blanket second mailing. H.R.
928 could result in a high duplication rate that would delay the
processing of census forms, potentially add more mistakes into the
count, and confuse the public, Dr. Prewitt said. The committee
approved.
4. The "2000 Census Language Barrier Removal Act" (H.R. 929)
requires the Bureau to make questionnaires available in 33 languages
(including English) and Braille. Dr. Prewitt said the "entire census
questionnaire workflow for receipt, image capture, transcription, and
key-from-paper would have to be modified" and the Bureau would have to
renegotiate its largest contracts. By a party-line vote of 20 - 24, the
committee defeated an amendment offered by Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton
(D-DC) to give the Bureau more flexibility in reaching non-English
speaking residents. Rep. Norton said only one percent of households do
not speak one of the six languages in which the Bureau plans to print
forms and many of them might also be illiterate in their own languages.
The committee approved H.R. 929, 23 - 21. Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA) was the
only Republican to vote against the bill.
5. The "2000 Census Community Participation Enhancement Act" (H.R.
1009) authorizes $26 million for a matching grant program for local and
Tribal governments, and public and private nonprofit organizations. Dr.
Prewitt said the Bureau does not have the experience to manage a
competitive grant program. He also expressed concern that "the amount
of funds available per awardee would be so low as to raise questions
about the sincerity of this effort, or there would be many more losers
than winners, [placing] the Bureau in an untenable position." By voice
vote, the committee defeated an amendment by Rep. Maloney to shift
responsibility for administering a grant program to a private
foundation, to target grants to communities with undercounts of two
percent or greater in the 1990 census, and to remove the funding cap
from the bill. The committee then approved H.R. 1009 by voice vote.
6. H.R. 1010 authorizes $300 million for census promotional,
outreach, and marketing activities. The Bureau's original Census 2000
plan allocated $240 million for all marketing activities, including $100
million for paid advertising. In announcing the revised plan last
month, Dr. Prewitt said the Bureau would expand the program and pursue
"nontraditional advertising methods." The committee approved, by voice
vote, an amendment offered by Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL), urging the Bureau
to use local businesses experienced in outreach to hard-to-count
communities. The amendment was drafted in cooperation with Rep. Mark
Louder (R-IN) and Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA). The committee approved H.R.
1010, as amended, by voice vote.
7. The "Census in the Schools Promotion Act" (H.R. 1058) requires
the Bureau to send a letter to all elementary and secondary school
principals, all elementary school teachers, and all secondary school
math, geography, and social studies teachers, inviting them to
participate in the Census in the Schools program. Responding educators
would receive the full program kit. The Bureau's plan targets teachers
in about 40 percent of schools in hard-to-count areas (including Indian
reservations), although the materials would be available to all schools
on the Internet. Democrats said they share the bill's goal but scolded
the bill's sponsors for voting on the bill without any review or cost
analysis. They also criticized the specific requirements as
unnecessary "micro-managing" of the census. Rep. Miller pledged to
provide adequate funding for the expanded program. The committee voted
20 - 21 against an amendment by Rep. Maloney to allow the Bureau to
develop an effective approach for reaching all schools. The committee
then approved H.R. 1058 by voice vote.
New congressional committee assignment: Freshman Rep. Janice Schakowsky
(D-IL) has been appointed to the House Committee on Government Reform,
which oversees the census. She replaces Rep. Gary Condit (D-CA), who
has taken a leave of absence from the panel.
Appropriations hearings continue: Secretary of Commerce William Daley
testified before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce,
Justice, State, and The Judiciary on March 11. Discussion about census
preparations was limited. Chairman Judd Gregg (R-NH) and the panel's
senior Democrat, Sen. Ernest Hollings (D-SC) asked about plans for
census advertising and partnership activities, and the Bureau's decision
not to mail a second questionnaire. (See the March 8 News Alert for a
summary of Secretary Daley's testimony before the counterpart House
subcommittee.)
Corrections: In our March 8 News Alert, we inadvertently stated that
local governments will be able to add newly-constructed housing units to
the address lists until "March 31, 1999." The expanded address list
opportunity will run through Census Day, April 1, 2000. Tribal
governments are included in all address list development activities.
Also, the Census Bureau has clarified that late new-construction
additions will be visited during the "coverage improvement" phase, so
that enumerators can determine if the structures include multiple
households and interview all residents who lived there on Census Day.
