SEC. 353. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following

findings:

(1) The survival of American culture is dependent upon

the survival of the sacred institution of marriage.

(2) The decennial census is required by section 2 of article

1 of the Constitution of the United States, and has been conducted in every decade since 1790.

(3) The decennial census has included marital status among

the information sought from every American household since

1880.

(4) The 2000 decennial census will mark the first decennial

census since 1880 in which marital status will not be a question

included on the census questionnaire distributed to the majority

of American households.

(5) The United States Census Bureau has removed marital

status from the short form census questionnaire to be distributed to the majority of American households in the 2000 decennial census and placed that category of information on the

long form census questionnaire to be distributed only to a

sample of the population in that decennial census.

(6) Every year more than $100,000,000,000 in Federal

funds are allocated based on the data collected by the Census

Bureau.

(7) Recorded data on marital status provides a basic foundation for the development of Federal policy.

(8) Census data showing an exact account of the numbers

of persons who are married, single, or divorced provides critical

information which serves as an indicator on the prevalence

of marriage in society.

(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that

the United States Census Bureau—

(1) has wrongfully decided not to include marital status

on the census questionnaire to be distributed to the majority

of Americans for the 2000 decennial census; and

(2) should include marital status on the short form census

questionnaire to be distributed to the majority of American

households for the 2000 decennial census.
