To provide for a study relating to the feasibility of using postal employees 
as census enumerators. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 29, 2009 
Mr. CHAFFETZ introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 
A BILL 
To provide for a study relating to the feasibility of using 
postal employees as census enumerators. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) the Bureau of the Census needs an accurate 
count, based on all households in the United States, 
to conduct a decennial census; 
(2) the Bureau of the Census spends years and 
billions of taxpayer dollars to find and then verify 
where all such households are located;

(3) the Bureau of the Census relies on part- 
time enumerators to assist in the constitutionally 
mandated decennial census; and 
(4) the United States Postal Service has more 
experience than any other organization in finding 
and delivering services to all households in the 
United States, and is thus uniquely positioned to as-
sist the Bureau of the Census to achieve a complete 
and accurate enumeration of the population. 
SEC. 2. STUDY. 
The United States Postal Service shall study and 
submit a written report to the appropriate committees of 
Congress, by not later than January 1, 2012, on the feasi-
bility of using postal employees to serve as enumerators 
in the 2020 decennial census of population.
