Dear <<RESPNAME>>:

Thank you for completing The Daily Expenditure Record recently left with your household for the U.S. Census Bureau. Your continued participation is important.

The Consumer Expenditure survey data is used for updating the Consumer Price Index (CPI), an important indicator of our cost of living and a measure of inflation. Information from this survey helps employers develop adequate retirement and health programs, as well as determine wage scales. Increases in pensions are often linked directly to increases in the cost of living as measured by the CPI.

All the information the Census Bureau collects for this survey is held confidential by law. Your privacy is protected by regulations covered under Title 13 of the U.S. Code. All Census Bureau employees have taken an oath and are subject to imprisonment, and/or a fine if ANY information that could identify you or your household is disclosed.

Please call our Field Representative «FRNAME» at «FRPHONE» with any questions or changes to the scheduled appointment to pick up your Consumer Expenditure diaries. Diary completion is time-sensitive and the diaries need to be picked up, so they may be transmitted to the Regional Office for processing. You may call the Consumer Expenditure Survey at <<SURVEYPHONE>> extension XX, if you have any questions concerning this survey. We are grateful for your help.

Sincerely,

<<RD or RSM Name>>

U.S. Census Bureau
