I am trying to assemble a group of people who are interested in getting
the Public Use Microdata Sample of the Census of Population and Housing
as soon as it becomes available.  Those of us at research institutions
can generally get this for only the cost of the media through ICPSR, but
only after what can be a long delay.

The census bureau will sell the 5% Sample for US $4,000.  I would like to
find 9 people who will chip in $400 each plus the cost of the physical
media.  I will then copy the data to either high density mag. tape or
DAT, according to your preference.

This offer is, of course, contingent on finding the requisite number of
people.

Please e-mail me at jonat@cicero.spc.uchicago if you are interested.
According to the bureau, the data will be released by the end of the year.
