CURRENT INDUSTRIAL REPORTS SERIES

FROM THE DIRECTOR
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
Please complete and return the enclosed annual Current Industrial Reports
survey form within 30 days. The Current Industrial Reports yield statistics that
businesses, trade associations, Government agencies, and others use
intensively. These data can help your business to:
• Assess industry and economic trends
• Plan production
• Develop new products and markets
We enclose instructions for completing this survey form. Federal law (Title 13,
United States Code) requires your response to this request. The same law
requires us to keep the information you report strictly confidential.
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. Please consult with your marketing manager and engineers and use
the "Remarks" section to provide any needed explanations when completing
your form.
If you have any questions, need assistance, or would like survey results,
please call our toll-free number on 1–800–201–4647. If you need additional
time or survey forms, please call our processing office staff on 812–218–3331.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,

Steve H. Murdock
