The Committee on National Statistics was established in 1972 as a standing committee of The National Academies at the recommendation of the President's Commission on Federal Statistics. Its mandate was to provide an independent, objective resource for evaluating and contributing to continuous improvement by the agencies that constitute the U.S. statistical system. Thirty-four years later, CNSTAT continues to serve that mandate and, in addition, undertakes studies for a range of research and program agencies of the federal government. CNSTAT will celebrate its 100th meeting with a special seminar, followed by a reception. Katherine Wallman, Tim Holt, and Janet Norwood will be guest speakers.
