Chuck--
I saw Pat Hu last week and she knows Tommy Wright. She had copies of the
article and gave me one. I can certainly make it available if someone
wants it. I can slip you one in Portland and bring some for Seattle. I
think the article is a must read for anyone who is interested in
understanding the mechanical concepts behind "ratio estimation" with a
"dual-system estimation" process. It is the kind of article that will be
kept inside my textbooks dealing with survey design. And well worth a
read---just don't ask me to re-explain the techniques. <g>
Thanks for putting us on the scent of the article.

Dear CTPP-Newsers:
I came across this reference to an article on "Sampling and Census
2000: The Concepts" published by the "American Scientist" magazine.
Unfortunately, a full text of this article is not provided. The
article is by Dr. Tommy Wright of the Census Bureau. An abstract, and
a discussion forum, is at:
http://www.amsci.org/amsci/articles/98articles/wright.html
If anybody can find a copy of this journal, a few of us might be
interested in reading it. (Or maybe we could get a copy from Dr.
Wright?)
