I would just recommend that if you really want to look at a plus multiplier on marginalized and disenfranchised populations, homeless populations, chances are you are going to find a lot of those folks in the public library.

I can just tell you in North Dakota, you are going to have a heck of a time hiring Census workers.

I get all that, but I think anybody who looks at this... Why does it seem to be, to me, underutilized?

I would tell you that is probably not true in North Dakota. Not true in rural areas.

I continue to be concerned, Secretary Ross, about the lack of public trust and government, and I think that it has a dramatic effect on your ability to do the Census.

The lack of even a nominee for the Census Director position is very troubling.

I want to applaud your answer in understanding that the bulk of people, you are going to find pretty easily, and it is the marginalized population that we need to work very hard at getting to cooperate and counted.

We hope that Congress can be an effective partner for you.

I think you received an incredible amount of bipartisan support, in part because we understood what role you played in the lookback on Hurricane Katrina.

Simply put, the 2020 Census is in trouble.

This is probably a personal experience that maybe was not shared with everyone.

You are talking, Secretary, about actually engaging with the mail carriers?

So, how many of the patients that were treated aboard the Comfort were actually ICU patients?

One of the concerns that I have... is that all of our talk about mitigation... will take a back seat.

I think it is critically important that you think about these add-ons or these extras that you are doing in terms of data collection because it does negate the relationship that you have with the citizen.

A critical concern to me and to my constituents are the canceled tests in Indian Country.

I rise once again today to talk about how we are working to reform our outdated Tax Code and to provide much needed tax relief to our Nation's small businesses and to hard-working families and ranchers. We are working to not only provide…

We want to thank you for your focused efforts to bring an end to human trafficking and violence against women and children in Indian Country.
