As the availability and quality of our national data-gathering systems have increasingly been taken for granted, concern and protection for these resources have been relaxed. This has resulted in the loss of a focus for statistical policy and coordination, a diminution in the size of samples taken, a retrogression in the amount of data collected, and the neglect of social and economic research. It is the responsibility of government, labor, business, and users of data to demand a national statistical coordination that maintains quality, integrity, and independence.
由于我们国家的数据收集系统的可用性和质量越来越被视为理所当然，对这些资源的关注和保护也随之放松。这导致了统计政策和协调重点的丧失、抽样规模的缩小、所收集数据量的倒退以及对社会和经济研究的忽视。要求进行全国性统计协调以保持质量、完整性和独立性，是政府、劳工、企业和数据使用者的责任。
