On the recordMay 28, 2014
I announce that we are going to postpone the 2020 census and move it to 2021 or maybe to 2022. I am going to accept the amendment, but if we keep taking it from the census, there will be no census unless it is going to be done on a voluntary basis, and we can ask people if they will. I think it is a good amendment. I understand what you are trying to do, but if we keep fining census, census, census, then there will be no census. I accept the gentleman's amendment. He makes a very powerful case, and I think it is a very good issue. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. McNerney). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
