Senator Sam Ervin Says
WASHINGTON—The up
coming 1970 census and its
proposed array of personal
questions is the subject of
inquiry by the Senate Sub
committee on Constitution
al Rights. The subcom
mittee is conducting hear
ings concerning individual
privacy, the census, and
burdensome federal ques
tionnaires.
For several years, the
subcommittee has investi
gated unwarranted govern
mental invasions into peo
ple’s personal affairs. On
April 14 I introduced a
measure, S. 1791, to further
secure personal privacy and
protect the constitutional
right of people to ignore
certain unwarranted gov
ernmental questionnaires.
This measure is the sub
ject of the present sub
committee inquiry relating
to statistical surveys by
the government which
would delve into personal
and financial activities at
individuals, such as the
1970 census.

TUESDAY, MAY 6
In recent years, Con
gress has received serious
complaints of wholesale
governmental interrogation
of citizens about their
daily activities, how they,
spend their money, and
why they behave as they
do. Answers are trecoded
and analyzed, tabulated
and computerized.
This search for informa
tion is often for a good
cause and is sometimes
conducted in a reasonable
and limited fashion. Fre
quently, however, indivi
duals are told to disclose
information to the govern
ment simply because some
agency is engaged in "peo
ple-studies,” and the ag
ency is substituting sur
veys for judgment and cre
ative ingenuity in the ad
ministration of the laws.
Many of these question
naires carry the full weight
of federal criminal and
civil laws to back up the
demand for statistical in
formation. The decennial
census forms, which must

• be answered on pain of
; SIOO fine or imprisonment
. for 60 days, grow longer
; and more complicated ev
ery 10 years.
Millions of people, we
are told, will be required
to give 1970 census takers
mandatory answers about
their household equipment,
their marital history, their
income, and a host of
questions unrelated to the
constitutional basis for the
census.
The first census had six
questions, and related to
the counting of persons liv
ing in this country. The
1970 census is a sociolo
gist’s dream compared to
that first census. It will
have upwards of 170 ques
tions for millions who will
answer its detailed ques
tionnaire.
The measure Which I
have introduced, and oth
er proposals in Congress,
are designed to answer a
question asked more and
more: When, if at all,
should the force of the fed
eral criminal or civil law
be brought to bear when
the government demands
information about the per
sonal lives and households
of its citizens?
The decennial inquiries
might be excused to some
degree, if there were not
thousands of Census Bu
reau inquiries underway
all the time. The indivi
duals receiving these in
quiries from the federal
government is seldom told
that a particular question
naire can be answered vol
untarily. The inference is
always that a person is re
quired. If he fails to re
spond, the citizen is sub
jected to a round of follow
up letters, phone calls and
personal interviews.
It is clear that a balance
must be struck between
the individual’s desire to
provide information and
■the government’s need for
information. It is the duty
of Congress to say under
what circumstances infor
mation can be solicited,
and this is the purpose of
the hearings on this legis
lation.
There is nothing more
impudent than excessive
prudence. —Colton.
