Mr. ESPAILLAT. Madam Speaker, today, the Census begins to reach out to households across America.

All communities across the country must be counted, particularly those that are hard-to-count communities.

The Census is for everybody. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we now face difficult challenges for the Census.

The Census must be extended an additional 3 months so we can get an accurate count.

(English translation of the statement made in Spanish is as follows:)

Today we begin the census for families across the country. But due to the coronavirus pandemic we are going to face grand obstacles. The Census should be extended for 3 months to ensure a precise count.

Hoy comenzamos el conteo del censo para familias a traves del pais pero por la creciente epidemia del coronavirus vamos a tener grandes obstaculos. El censo debe de ser extendido por tres meses para tener un conteo preciso.
