"Going forward, though, if federal statistical products are delayed or are no longer provided, if they’re canceled, it’s going to be like we’ve taken that X-ray machine away from a doctor. We’re not going to know what’s going on in communities..." -David Van Riper (IPUMS, & APDU Board of Directors)
