H.R.237

Memorializes Congress to include a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act directing the Department of Defense to provide accurate.

This resolution urges Congress to include a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act directing the Department of Defense to provide accurate on-base population counts for the decennial census. The resolution highlights that accurate counts are essential for fair apportionment of congressional seats, proper allocation of federal funding, and accurate representation of communities. It notes that historical census counts conducted by door-to-door enumeration on military installations have resulted in significant undercounts.
