Commerce Secretary's interpretation of 13 U.S.C. section 195, as permitting him to consider accuracy as a component of feasibility of sampling in the taking of a census, was a permissible construction of that statute, and a decision not to statistically adjust Census 2000 was not arbitrary and capricious.
