I do rely on the Census Bureau to give us the information. I know that last year as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Census, the gentleman from Florida was very concerned about political manipulation of the census data. I wonder if he would comment on whether or not this situation is an example of political manipulation. The Census Bureau consulted with a special interest group and then decided not to publish the numbers. This is one homeless group. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) and I have a list of other groups that would like this information. What if it had been the NRA? What if it had been NOW? What is the difference?
