COMMITTEE ON NATIONAL STATISTICS
The Committee on National Statistics was established in 1972 at the National
Academies to improve the statistical methods and information on which public
policy decisions are based. The committee carries out studies, workshops, and
other activities to foster better measures and fuller understanding of the econ-
omy, the environment, public health, crime, education, immigration, poverty,
welfare, and other public policy issues. It also evaluates ongoing statistical pro-
grams and tracks the statistical policy and coordinating activities of the federal
government, serving a unique role at the intersection of statistics and public
policy. The committee’s work is supported by a consortium of federal agencies
through a National Science Foundation grant.
