"Mayor Tom Bradley speaks about the 1980 Census"

In a statement regarding the 1980 Census, Mayor Tom Bradley emphasizes he wants everyone in Los Angeles to be counted. The mayor hopes people will fill out and mail back their forms today to save the millions it will cost to send people out to get the data. April 1, 1980 has been proclaimed Census Day in Los Angeles, and Bradley presents a commemorative certificate to Michael of the Census Bureau while congratulating him for the great work he has done on such a massive undertaking. Michael speaks briefly thanking the city, Mayor Bradley and his staff for their support in the process. Footage includes Mayor Bradley, Michael and another man walking down the sidewalk to the mailbox where they drop envelopes with their completed census forms to be mailed.
