Concerns With Manufacturers Census Reports and Federal Reporting Requirements

The author, Mr. Burt, expresses concern about the Manufacturers Census Reports required by the Bureau of the Census. He believes that federal reporting requirements should not overly burden businesses and that the recently passed Civil Service Reform Act may help address issues with unproductive federal workers. Mr. Burt also criticizes the lack of knowledge displayed by the Assistant Director of the Bureau of Census on a TV program and suggests that eliminating inefficient personnel could improve efficiency and help balance the budget.
