U.S. Census Bureau Director Charles Kincannon told the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee that the budget fight between President George W. Bush and Congress has set back complicated preparations for the 2010 national census, which will decide the number of seats each state has in the House of Representatives. Already, several "dress rehearsal" census activities have been canceled because additional funding, which had been expected with the October 1 start of the new fiscal year, has been delayed.
