Dear Dr. Fixler and Ms. Reed,
Thank you for your letter of continued support of NASS surveys. The List Frame
program combined with the Census of Agriculture are essential for all NASS surveys.
They provide us with a population that can be efficiently targeted to obtain the most
accurate agricultural data possible in a very short time period, while minimizing
respondent burden.
We will keep you informed of any modifications.
Again, many thanks.
