A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD REQUESTS THE 1990
CENSUS TO COUNT EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY
REGARDLESS OF THEIR CITIZENSHIP STATUS
WHEREAS, the Federal government will conduct the 10-year census
in 1990, and;

total count of everyone in the country regardless of citizenship
status, and;
WHEREAS, states, particularly Southern California, are required
to provide services to everyone, without regard.to citizenship
status, and;
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States is considering
restricting the census to legal citizens only, which would

hardship on local governments to make up the shortfall.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City of Rosemead
supports the concept of counting everyone in the 1990 Census without
regard to citizenship status.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the State Legislature and Executive Branch, and the
