                  **CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY**

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

What:     The Census Bureau's Dallas 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 Houston City, Texas, 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:     Thursday, Nov. 15, at 11 a.m. CST

Who:      Alfonso Mirabal, Dallas regional director
          Jorge del Pinal, assistant division chief, 
          Special Population Statistics Branch, U.S. Census Bureau

Where:    Houston Galveston Area Council of Governments
          3555 Timmons Lane
