Every day, U.S. international broadcasters provide news and information about America and the world to millions of people living in societies not yet free or that struggle to consolidate recently won freedoms.

The struggle in which media play a critical part is never-ending. That struggle is the fight to protect and promote freedom.

All right. Thank you.

One of the things that is so important if you want to address problems, the first step is acknowledging that you have one.

I do not want to be sitting here 10 years from now and with Senator McCain, Senator Coburn, Senator Burris, and others and have to say why aren't we using technology that others have been using for not only 15, but 20 years; why aren't we…

In May, our Subcommittee held a field hearing up in Philadelphia on how the Census Bureau plans to address the challenges of obtaining a complete and an accurate counting, particularly in urban communities in the 2010 decennial.

All right. Another question, if I could, for you, Dr. Groves.

I could even say something like it is sort of up to the American public now.

I think a little more than one out of five for address canvassing employees had, as we say, unclassified fingerprints and were only subject to name background check.

Senator Carper mentioned that we just finished walking every street of this country building the master address file.

Right on the money. Thank you.

I think it is probably in several million in number. But the undercount occurs among, if you will, the least of these and the people that are usually the lowest income and minorities, folks that are renters and in some cases, children.

I learned that in my very own home state of Delaware, nearly 12,000 residents were missed in the 2000 Census.

Well, that is encouraging.

All right. Mr. Goldenkoff.

we do the next decennial in 2020; we get the number as accurate as we can, but we do it in a cost effective way

the technology that we are using for the 2010 is not the most cost effective way

Well, that is nice to hear. I feel very fortunate to have the folks around me, and I know I speak for my colleagues on the Subcommittee.
