Samenvatting
Following a review to the 1970 census experience, consideration is given to the plan for the 1980 census. It is pointed out that the census bureau is most concerned with preventing the data processing and related problems that occurred in the 1970 census. As well as striving to do things right, they are also striving to do the right thing and make the output of the 1980 census more useful both to planners and to all others who can benefit from census data.
