Dear Resident:
The United States Constitution requires a census of the
United States every 10 years. To prepare for the
2010 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau is conducting the
2007 Census Bilingual Form Study. The purpose of this
test is to develop new methods that will make the
2010 Census easier, more convenient, and less costly
for taxpayers.
Your assistance in helping us improve the census is
important. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to
help each community get its fair share of federal funding.
Your answers are required and confidential by law (Title 13,
United States Code, Sections 9, 141, 193, and 214). This
law protects your privacy and requires that you provide the
information requested. Only persons sworn to protect
Census Bureau data will have access to the information you
provide — and no one else. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Charles Louis Kincannon
Director, U.S. Census Bureau
