On the recordJuly 30, 1998
The Academy of Sciences study. It was a very partisan Democrat that led the study. There is a division within the academic community, and if I was a statistician looking at this, I would say, wow, the largest statistical experiment in history? Statisticians love to have experiments; statisticians love to play around with numbers. This is their opportunity, this is a golden opportunity for them to run some tests. That is what they are in favor of. But let us run a test, and let us conduct a count of everyone to start with. At least use the model of 1990 as a minimum where we try, as the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Sawyer) was saying, count everyone and then do a study on a statistical sample for test purposes or an ICM of some type. So there are ways to do that, but we have to start basically with counting everyone first, and I yield.
