The ACS is perhaps one of the most useful tools available to researchers, no matter their affiliation with the government or industry. With the scaling back of the Census, the ACS maintains a steady flow of demographic data that will only become more and more important as the country grows. I urge you, as members of Congress and individuals who serve this country, to seriously consider the far-reaching impact of the ACS for academics, the government, and industry.REPORT COMMENTS
