Honorable Patrick Leahy Honorable Nita Lowey Ranking Member Ranking Member US Senate Committee on Appropriations U.S. House Committee on Appropriations U.S. Capitol S-128 U.S. Capitol H-305 Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510

Dear Chairmen Cochran and Frelinghuysen and Ranking Members Leahy and Lowey:

We write to provide our perspective on, and to express our strong support for, the critical Federal data sources that inform and strengthen our nation’s world-leading economic, educational, democratic and civic institutions and successes.

Our Federal statistical and data systems provide information that is uniquely accurate, objective, relevant, timely and accessible. America’s families, firms and policymakers are able to make informed decisions because they have open access to this unbiased high-quality information.

We are concerned that a lack of appreciation for the critical importance of our Federal statistical and data systems may worsen, and are worried that, after years of insufficient funding, these systems face deeper funding cuts and further marginalization. Our nation, economy, businesses and citizens rely on the nonpartisan, gold-standard data provided by several agencies, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, the Energy Information Administration, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Economic Research Service, the National Agricultural Statistics Service, the Internal Revenue Service Statistics of Income, the Social Security Administration Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics, and the National Center for Health Statistics.

These data resources benefit individual citizens who seek information to: • guide their career and education choices, • gain a clearer sense of wages and benefits on offer for different careers, • choose a community in which to live.

Our Democracy relies on Federal data for: • Apportionment -- population counts determines allocation of legislative seats by geography, • Redistricting -- state legislatures use population counts and characteristics to determine legislative boundaries, • Voting and civil rights -- Congress and the Supreme Court explicitly rely on data to ensure compliance with voting and civil rights laws.

Federal data resources help the public sector to: • evaluate programs, • support evidence-based decision-making, • project tax collections and craft budgets, • guide fiscal and monetary policy, • target limited resources, • design policy and programs, such as in housing, health, education and training, economic development, transportation, and criminal justice, • index many benefits and tax brackets to inflation, • work with local businesses when making investments.

Businesses increasingly use a variety of Federal data elements from the various agencies to evaluate markets for new or established products and determine areas for the location, expansion, and contraction of their activities. Examples of data elements include annual population estimates, industry, payroll and employment totals, metro area definitions, and total personal income estimates.

Federal data enable the private sector by FedEx depends on timely and consistent data from helping employers: across government agencies. GDP, industrial • understand global, national, and production, business sales and inventories across regional economic characteristics to the supply chain are just a handful of the key guide location, investment, and inputs in the business planning process.

FedEx also uses workforce talent, detailed Census data on international trade to • establish competitive wages and discern trends in commodity trade patterns and benefits, modal choice.

Goods-producing industries, in particular, are still highly influenced by the business cycle and rely heavily on the economic statistics produced by the government. Manufacturers of consumer durables, such as the Ford Motor Company, use GDP data and The Greater Houston Partnership relies heavily on Federal subcomponents on a weekly basis data to support our mission of making the region “a better to understand past performance place to live, work and build a business.” and predict the future trajectory of • Employment data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics sales. informs employers what sectors of Houston’s economy are expanding or contracting, which they incorporate into investment and hiring decisions.

Federal data are an increasingly important and highly cost-effective component of a 21st Century national infrastructure, and enhance our national economic vitality and wellbeing. Yet the programs that create them have very low visibility and few Congressional champions. The below-signed organizations and individuals encourage Congress to reflect on the importance of the statistical system during policy, legislative, budget and appropriations deliberations and to support these programs required to ensure we have the necessary data for our country to make sound evidence-based decisions in the modern world.

Sincerely,

Ken Poole Executive Director Association of Public Data Users On behalf of the below organizations and individuals:
