FBI Agent Tries To Obtain Census Worker Credentials - A Federal Crime By Daniel Perez - El Paso Times borderlandnews.com 2-16-2000 The FBI and U.S. Census Bureau are investigating an incident at the El Paso census office in which an FBI agent tried to obtain census worker credentials. The release of such credentials is a federal crime, census officials said, and the FBI agent was denied them. "He wanted to use them for law enforcement purposes, and we flat coldly refused any help, said Steve Jost, associate director for communication for the bureau. He said a census worker convicted of releasing confidential information faces a fine up to $5,000 and five years in prison.
