                Census Bureau to Brief Reporters on 
           Local Census 2000 Supplementary Survey Results

What:    The Census Bureau's Seattle Regional Office will brief media on 
         new Census 2000 Supplementary Survey (C2SS) data on demographic, 
         economic, social and housing characteristics for cities and 
         counties of 250,000 population or more. These data, including 
         those for the Spokane, Wash., Metropolitan Statistical Area, will 
         illustrate characteristics, such as education, language spoken at 
         home, household income, poverty and travel time to work. The 
         700,000-household survey was conducted simultaneously with last 
         year's census and was designed to test the operational 
         feasibility of collecting long form-type data independently of a 
         decennial census.

When:    Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 1 p.m. PST

Who:     Moises Carrasco, Seattle regional director
         Charles H. Alexander, assistant division chief,
