I certainly want to add to the comments that my colleagues have made in just the last few minutes. But I, most of all, want to thank everyone who has completed their census form so far. Wherever you are, whether you are an American citizen, a recent immigrant or whoever, you are making a difference for your community and setting our Nation on the best path for the new century. For those of you who have not yet filled out and returned your census questionnaires, please, you have 10 days to finish. Do it today. Do it now. Do it this very minute. It is not too late. As of last night, over 60 percent of Americans have completed and sent in their census form. This is very exciting news. But we must keep working with the census, with our communities, with our neighborhoods across the Nation to reach out to the remaining 40 percent of Americans who have yet to return their census questionnaire.
