A call from a local newspaper alerted us to incomplete data on the County-to-County Migration Flow Filed CDs received on Electronic Shipping List 95-0010-E. A very helpful person, Dave Paletz at 1-301-457-1326 (Bureau of the Census has good technical help lines) reported that the In-Migration CD will be reissued in about one month but that there was little affected on the Out-Migration CD so they will post the missing info on the Census BBS or provide requestors with a diskette in a few weeks. Basically there are only a few states affected -naturally one of them is Florida which is one of the fastest growing states in population in the nation.

     Affected tables on the In-Migration CD:
        Florida:
          Palm Beach County
	  Pasco County (*)
          Pinellas County
          Polk County
          Putnam County
          St. Johns County
          Sarasota County
	  Seminole County (*)
	  Florida state summary (*)
        Missouri:
          Stone County
          Sullivan County
          Taney County
          Texas County
          Warren County
          Washington County
          Wayne County
          Webster County
          Wright County
	  Missouri state summary (*)
      Affected tables on the Out-Migration CD:
        Mississippi:
          Harrison County
	  Mississippi state summary (*)

I think I got that all right over the telephone but it's been a day!
