I agree that we need a Director of the Census Bureau as soon as possible.

If you haven't started thinking about who you would like to have on the Census Bureau, start thinking about it right now.

I want to make sure that when that new Director of the Bureau of the Census is identified, vetted, nominated, confirmed, goes to work, that he or she have a pretty good to-do list.

I was the founding vice chairman of that as governor at the time and we decided we would do a paid ad campaign.

I think that it is a very good idea to have a term appointment for the Director of the Census Bureau.

I just think that, however it is structured, it should have the freedom to make independent programmatic decisions.

We want to make sure that whoever is leading this operation has the resources to do the job as best we can.

I would like to ask each of you to send me two names by close of business tomorrow of somebody that you think would be an excellent Director of the Bureau of the Census.

I think that is in some legislation that the House is considering.

I think it is close to four feet, maybe four to five feet.

I think in my State, the highest point of land in my State is a bridge.
