Debating the Census Count and its Political Stakes
Washington debate centers on whether to release statist ically adjusted figures alongside the head count. Critics warn of undercounts of minority groups and the homeless while supporters argue adjustments better reflect demographics and aid policy. The question ties to House seats, district boundaries, and $185 billion in federal funds, with Commerce Secretary Don Evans backing the head count for redistricting.

Rumsfeld recuses himself from defense mergers and AIDS concerns
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he has stayed out of weapons program deliberations and defense industry mergers to avoid conflicts of interest. He delegated authority to Deputy Paul Wolfowitz and cited General Dynamics Newport News, GE-Honeywell, Northrop-Litton, and Silicon Valley Graphics as areas avoided. He plans to divest holdings and has yet to find buyers for two private funds.
