CITY OF SANTA ANA SUPPORTING THE ENACTMENT OF
LEGISLATION TO ALLOW 1970 CENSUS QUESTIONNAIRE
REPLIES TO BE ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS
WHEREAS, the Federal Government will conduct a national
population survey in the year 1970; and
WHEREAS, this survey will employ questionnaires contain-
ing numerous items of inquiry; and
WHEREAS, many of these questions are of a highly personal
nature which the Council deems unnecessary to a successful census;
and
WHEREAS, replies to these questions are made mandatory under
penalty of the law; and
WHEREAS, the Council sees the forced response to personal
questions as a further erosion of personal liberty; and
WHEREAS, the Council vigorously opposes any trend toward
the confiscation of individual rights;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
1. To pledge its unqualified support to the enactment of
legislation designed to allow the replies to questions appearing
on the 1970 Federal Census questionnaires to be on a voluntary
basis; and
2. To provide copies of this Resolution to our Congressmen
in both the State and Federal Legislature.
