Hi Betsy,

The Advance Report from the 2002 Economic Census has been posted.  There

are links under www.census.gov/econ/census02

These are very early tabs that will be changed.  The reports will be
coming

out on a flow basis from now until September (very ambitious schedule
but

we may make it).  Unfortunately, it sounds like what will be most
helpful

to you are the results for materials (inputs) used in each of the
industry

reports and then in the general summary reports.  The industry series
will

come out throughout the year and the general summary not until all

industries are done.

Please say "Hi" to Martin.  It was good of him to undertake what he did
on

the Computer Security Survey.

John

Dear John,

Martin thought that you might know when the census of manufacturing data
on

the number and size of firms by 5 or 6 digit NAICS code will be
released.

For EPA, we are trying to estimate the number of firms that have begun

using

a substance called n-propyl bromide.  It was not widely used in 1997
which

makes that data not very good for our purposes.

Warmest regards,

Betsy
