Population Association of America, 1960 Census Committee.--In July 1956, the Population Association of America established a committee of six members to consider the technical aspects of the 1960 population census program. The Committee provided advice and recommendations both formally through a number of task forces it established to consider certain subjects--e.g., migration, fertility and nuptiality, journey to work--and informally by making available subject-matter experts for consultation with Bureau staff members. The efforts of this Committee, which continued over virtually the entire census period, until May 1962, emphasized the definition of concepts and the development of detailed tabulation and publication plans. The work of the Committee was financed by a grant from the Population Council, Inc. Population Association of America, Committee on Population Statistics.--This committee was constituted in 1962 as a successor to the 1960 Census Committee, to have a broader scope. A Subcommittee on the Evaluation of the 1960 Census held its first meeting January 4, 1963, in Washington. Ronald Freedman, Chairman Donald J. Bogue Robert G. Burnight Ansley J. Coale List of Members Jack P. Gibbs Everett S. Lee Panel of Statistical Consultants.--The Panel of Statistical Consultants, a small group consisting of recognized mathematical statisticians, was constituted in January 1955 to advise the Bureau on statistical problems. It gave most of its attention to sampling and estimation aspects of the census procedures. It met 2 days at a time as necessary, from one to three times a year. A great many ad hoc groups and special meetings were convened to consider special phases of the censuses. They ranged from formal conferences to informal meetings of Bureau staff with representatives of another agency or agencies. Among the larger meetings was the National Conference on Housing Census, February 1956, which was jointly sponsored by the American Municipal Association, the American Society of Planning Officials, and the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, and which was attended by representatives of 18 private organizations and 12 Federal agencies. In November 1955 and November 1957, members of the staff of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics of Canada and the Bureau of the Census met as a Committee for Joint Study of Selected Census Problems Common to the United States and Canada. In 1957, several meetings were held of a joint committee of the Housing and Home Finance Agency and the Bureau of the Census to consider plans for the 1960 Census of Housing. In February 1959, there was a Conference on Evaluation of the 1960 Censuses which was an augmentation of the Panel of Statistical Consultants. In November 1959, there was a meeting of a Special Advisory Committee on Congressional District Data which devoted considerable attention to plans for the Eighteenth Decennial Census. APPENDIX D. KEY PERSONNEL The Eighteenth Decennial Census involved the work of more than 170,000 persons engaged in thousands of different activities. The work was planned, developed, integrated, and supervised by a relatively small number who had the major responsibility for the various operations. This list is a directory of the key personnel of the Bureau who carried major responsibility during the census period and who can furnish information on their respective spheres of activities. Taken together, the persons listed here should be able to reconstruct all phases of the work on the 1960 Census of Population and Housing. The names of the members of the advisory committees whose knowledge and advice on taking the Eighteenth Decennial Census were made available to the Bureau are given in appendix C, "Principal Conferences and Meetings on the 1960 Census Program." The presentation in the list below is by organizational unit. Where personnel changed during the operation, the dates of their service (during the census period) are included. Some persons who transferred from one part of the organization to another are listed more than once. A description of the organization of the Bureau and the functions of the various divisions and offices of the Bureau which were concerned with the 1960 census program is given in chapter 1. It is usually possible to obtain a very general idea of a particular person's principal functions in the work on the 1960 censuses from the information given in the list, i.e., the organizational unit in which he worked, his job title, and, if he was not in the position during the entire census period, the date he entered or left the position. However, in a great many cases, groups of persons from different offices or divisions worked together as a team on a particular phase of the work, and in a great many other cases the division of labor for a particular project was made on the basis of the availability of personnel, time, and specialized knowledge rather than on the basis of the formal organization of the Bureau. Most of the people listed below were involved in many other census activities besides those indicated by their positions in the organization and their titles. OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR Richard M.
