GERALD R. FORD
HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER
RELEASE
--FOR RELEASE IN FRIDAY PM's
April 18, 1969
Statement by Rep. Gerald R. Ford, R-Mich., Republican Leader, U.S. House of Reps.
I commend Secretary of Commerce Maurice Stans for ordering changes in
1970 census procedures.
These changes partially meet objections raised by some members of the
House on the ground that the census taker is a snooper. In that connection, I
would cite Secretary Stans' assurance that questions regarding bathroom and
kitchen facilities have been rephrased to eliminate objectionable implications.
I also find it commendable that the number of householders asked to
respond to long lists of questions has been sharply reduced and that the
confidentiality of all replies will be emphasized.
There is no question that the collecting of valid census data is highly
important both to government and business. The steps being taken by Secretary
Stans with regard to 1970 census taking remove some of the objectionable
features of this decennial exercise.
