Subject: Conference on Metropolitan Area Concepts

The Office of Managment and Budget is considering new ways of defining
metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas.  On November 29 and 30, 1995
the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics will
host a conference on metropolitan area concepts.  The purpose of the
conference is to provide a forum for evaluating alternative definition
approaches, and for OMB to hear the concerns of the user community.
Follwing the conference, OMB will begin work on developing the
standards that will be used to define areas with 2000 Census data.  If
these areas are important to you, the conference is your opportunity
to have input into the process.  The cost for the two-day seminar,
to be held at the Holiday Inn, Bethesda, Maryland, will be $125.00 per
person.  For further information, contact Edward J. Spar or Susan
Cohen in the COPAFS office at 703-836-0404, or send a fax to
703-684-2037, or contact Spar at: spare@guvax.georgetown.edu .
