[CTPP] HISTORICAL files from decennial census "long form" data

First, let me introduce everyone in the CTPP community to Ms. Liang Long. Liang has her PhD from the University of Illinois, Chicago, so she is really Dr. Long, but we will not be formal here! Liang is now working part-time on CTPP, as contractor to FHWA from Cambridge Systematics, as was Nanda Srinivasan. Liang will have my OLD phone number 202-366-6971 at the USDOT building in Washington, D.C. The major part of this job is to provide technical assistance on CTPP. Her email address is Liang.Long(a)dot.gov Since Nandu's departure from the CTPP program last November, I picked up a bunch of the tech support calls. Some of the recent questions have been on data from 1960! I found that the CB has scanned a lot of the printed material. I asked my friends at the Univ of Washington which is a government repository library to identify the TABLE NUMBERS from the printed reports to make it easier to find transportation and "journey to work" items in the scanned materials.
