It does not address the decision on adjustment for non-redistricting purposes. The second report consists of a letter sent to William Barron, acting director of the Census Bureau. It reviews the new set of evaluations prepared by the Census Bureau in support of its October decision. The two reports are packaged together to provide a unified discussion of statistical adjustment and other aspects of the 2000 census that the authoring panel has considered to date.

In concept, the 1998 dress rehearsal for the 2000 Census should test almost all of the various operations and procedures planned for the decennial census under as close to census-like conditions as possible. This report reviews the results to date of the Bureau's efforts to create a complete and accurate address list; increase the mail response rate through outreach and promotion; staff its operations with an adequate workforce; and reduce costs and improve accuracy through sampling and statistical estimation methods.
