Dear Company Official:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing participation in
the Quarterly Services Survey. You may notice that the look and feel of the form has
been changed including the color, the ordering of questions, and the placement of
instructions. However, the information that is being requested remains the same. If you
choose to report online, the Internet address along with your Username and Password
can be found in the "Return Via Internet" section on the first page of the enclosed
survey form.
The information that you provide to the Quarterly Services Survey is confidential by
law (Title 13, United States Code) and is seen only by persons sworn to uphold the
confidentiality of Census Bureau information. Under the same law, your information
will be used only to develop total U.S. estimates that do not disclose the individual
activities of your firm. This information will be strictly safeguarded and cannot be used
for taxation, regulation, or investigation purposes.
The responses obtained from this survey provide policy makers and business leaders
with an up to date picture of the United States economic condition and are a key
element in estimating the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States. I thank
you in advance for your continued participation in the Quarterly Services Survey and
for contributing to the overall comprehensiveness, timeliness, and reliability of the
estimates the Census Bureau produces.
Sincerely,

Mark E. Wallace
