FORD\nHOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER\nRELEASE\n--FOR RELEASE IN FRIDAY PM's\nApril 18, 1969\nStatement by Rep. Gerald R. Ford, R-Mich., Republican Leader, U.S. House of Reps.\nI commend Secretary of Commerce Maurice Stans for ordering changes in\n1970 census procedures.\nThese changes partially meet objections raised by some members of the\nHouse on the ground that the census taker is a snooper. In that connection, I\nwould cite Secretary Stans' assurance that questions regarding bathroom and\nkitchen facilities have been rephrased to eliminate objectionable implications.\nI also find it commendable that the number of householders asked to\nrespond to long lists of questions has been sharply reduced and that the\nconfidentiality of all replies will be emphasized.\nThere is no question that the collecting of valid census data is highly\nimportant both to government and business. The steps being taken by Secretary\nStans with regard to 1970 census taking remove some of the objectionable\nfeatures of this decennial exercise.\n# # #"
