A bill to amend title 13, United States Code, to provide for a mid-decade sample survey of population.

Provides for a mid-decade sample survey of population to be taken as of April 1, 1985, and every ten years thereafter.

Requires the Secretary of Commerce to formulate the questions and type of information, subject to the approval of the appropriate committees of Congress, to be compiled in the decennial census and the mid-decade sample surveys not less than three years before the date of such census or survey. Allows the Secretary to submit, when circumstances necessitate, new questions during the remaining period before the decennial census or mid-decade sample survey.

States that the geographic scope of each sample survey shall be the same as that of each decennial census.
