CURRENT INDUSTRIAL REPORTS SERIES

FROM THE MANUFACTURING AND CONSTRUCTION DIVISION
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
We know that this is a busy time of the year for you and your company, but our
records indicate you have not returned your annual Current Industrial Reports
form. If you recently mailed your survey form, we thank you and ask that you
disregard this letter.
Please complete and return the enclosed duplicate copy of the survey form
within 10 days. Although your response is voluntary, we need your participation
to assure the quality of the survey results. Federal law (Title 13, United States
Code) requires us to keep your report strictly confidential.
Current Industrial Reports are used by individual businesses, trade associations,
Government agencies and others. The resulting survey statistics can help your
business to:
• Assess industry and economic trends
• Plan production
• Develop new products and markets
We realize your time is valuable and compiling these data is not always easy.
However, reasonable estimates are acceptable, if book figures are not available.
We accept substitutes for our survey form (e.g., computer printout) provided they
contain sufficient information to match to corresponding items.
If you have any questions, need assistance, or details about FAXing your survey
form, please call our toll-free number at 1–800–201–4647.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,

Thomas E. Zabelsky
