So you said there is quite a bit of controversy in terms of a plan for sampling using statistics.

So how do we fill in the counts then? I mean, is there no adjustment to the actual canvassing?

I think when folks were critical of the Census Bureau, including some Members of Congress, they talked about the American Community Survey.

But, if we were to totally Federalize it, we would have to hire tens of thousands of employees. Is that correct?

Well, unfortunately, in the scheme of things, that is not that big a number in terms of what we are spending.

I appreciate your holding this hearing. This was very informational, and I think important.

That kind of speaks to really defining the scope of the project.

From the first panel, it seemed like the direction we were moving was trying to bring these contracts into smaller bite-sized pieces.

Who primarily drives those changes? Is that from the Safety Board? Is that the government?

It is Hanford where we are actually getting leakage right now, too, isn't it?

That is definitely heightening the concern in trying to speed this process up to address that fact.
