Jeff Miller: “what we have at issue is the short-form versus the long-form data. The short form, as has been pointed out, was changed…”

On the recordJuly 18, 2001
what we have at issue is the short-form versus the long-form data. The short form, as has been pointed out, was changed slightly from 1990; and when they gave examples, they did not mention Dominican. So it may possibly have affected the number. There is a question on the long form that asks ``place of birth.'' That data will not be available until 2003. So the problem on the short form is when they filled out the form, if they did not put Dominican, they do not get counted as Dominican. On the long form, if they put Dominican, they will get counted. 2003 will have a new report, but we cannot go back and change what people put down on the short form now.
