Dear CTPP data Users,

Attached please find a copy of a letter from Mr. Larry McGinn, Chief, American Community Survey Office/Census Bureau.  As you were aware of from a previous ctpp-list server announcement, the Census Bureau published a Federal Register notice soliciting comments from current and potential users of ACS data products to help guide the redesign of these products on May 14, 2004.  Mr. McGinn�s letter provides more detailed explanation on why certain products are included.  I hope that you will find it helpful while you are critiquing current ACS products.  Thanks for taking time to making comments.
