Report by the Congressional Members of the U.S. Census Monitoring Board criticizing the plans of the Census Bureau and the Department of Commerce to use statistical adjustment to correct any potential undercounts in the upcoming 2000 census. The Board instead favors using technology and local methods in order to track down the people who were missed, rather than making statistical estimates.

Report by Jeffrey S. Passel for the Presidential Members of the U.S. Census Monitoring Board analyzing why the DA estimate of the U.S. population implies a census overcount and the A.C.E. implies an undercount. Passel analyzes how these different methods of estimating the population are disproportionate when it comes to their treatment of minorities, leading to the discrepancy.
