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 con-
ducted in every decade since 1790. 
(3) The decennial census has included marital status among 
the information sought fi-om 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 distrib-
uted to the majority of American households in the 2000 decen-
nial 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 founda-
tion 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.
