JUDY WOODRUFF: The U.S. government will print the forms for the 2020 census without a question
about citizenship.
The Justice Department confirmed the decision late today.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court barred adding the citizenship question unless the administration
gave a better explanation for including it.
President Trump initially called for delaying the census for as long as necessary.

a political theme as well.
KELLYANNE CONWAY, Counselor to President Trump: Thematically, how wonderful this country is,
our troops and military, our great democracy and great call to patriotism, the success
of this administration in opening up so many jobs for individuals, what we have done for
veterans.
There's no final form yet, but America will hear the whole speech.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The president wanted a large military parade in Washington in 2017, but
officials scuttled the plan, partly over the cost.

groups.

ANGELA MERKEL, German Chancellor (through translator): It took a lot of effort and commitment
from all those involved, as well as a great willingness to compromise.
I said today when I went in that everyone would have to move a bit.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The European Parliament is set for an official vote on the nominees tomorrow.

cities.
