“this is the way it is. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Florida for yielding this time to me. The argument of sampling really boils down to this very simple chart. Under the United States Census called for by the Constitution, the way it has always been done, they go house to house, door to door, and they count. Go to the first house, 3 people; the second house, 7; third house, 6; and we come up with 16 people. Pretty clear, pretty explicit, very understandable. Now, as the last speaker said, Democrats' sample-matics is all about politics. Go to the first house, 3 people; go to the second house, 7 people; go to the third house; and, really, they do not go because they do not feel like it, it is time to knock off for lunch or do whatever people do when they work for the Government. So then they say, well, how many do we really need? We need 15 to 25 people? Well, we will just do that because we did not go to the third house. That is what this is all about. If my colleagues like sampling, how would they like it done in their election? If my colleagues like sampling, sample their next IRS return and see how their administration backs them on that. Sample their golf score, sample their bookie; I do not know. Mr. Speaker, this is the way to do a Census. Count it head by head, door by door.”
