Career Development of Government Statisticians is
preparing a report documenting programs in existence,
opportunities for collaboration, and statistical education
needs of federal agencies. The subcommittee chair, Cynthia
Clark, would appreciate suggestions of additional
references. The bibliography will be annotated during Fall
