The 2001 AHS report is about a month from being sent to the printer.  After
that, it should take about 5 weeks before it hits the streets.  Look for it
on Oprah's Book Club sometime in November.

Some computer glitches have delayed the release of the 2001 data on FERRET.
Glitches being what they are, it's hard to guarantee when they will be
fixed.  The best guess is that the data should be available late next week.

The field work for the 2002 Metro Survey is 91% complete.  We are looking
to close out most field operations on September 16.

We are starting to seriously think about content for the 2005 survey.  That
survey will incorporate the information gleaned from the decennial census.
In particular, it will include fortified samples of manufactured housing
and assisted living facilities, based on 2000 census data.  We can't add
large modules to our already extensive interview, but suggestions about
specific questions are welcome, particularly if they would take advantage
of those new cases.
