Here’s why the difference between what Zullo referenced and what Dr Con referenced. They came from different documents, since Dr Con could not locate the document that Zullo referenced. Here’s Dr Con at http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/03/decoding-the-long-form-part-1/ :
“According to the response to my FOIA request to the Department of Health and Human Services, the unpublished manual “Coding and Punching Geographical and Personal Particulars for Births Occurring in 1961” that is referenced on PDF page 228 of VSUS could not be found and they suggest that such a document never actually existed. However, they did point me to Geographic coding manual for 1961 and provided tape layouts for that year (but no coding manual). In particular, they told me that the “Vital Statistics Instruction Manual for 1961” (cited by Johansson and Crosby) with the exception of the Geographic coding manual could not be located. I filed an appeal and they replied that they checked again with all the subject matter experts, and no such document exists today.”
Dr. Con knows the document he has is not the document Zullo referred to; in fact, long after he made the request for this document he’s now citing he stated on his own site that the document Zullo referenced does not exist.”
Zullo says it exists. Now who would you believe - Zullo, or Dr. Con? Johannsen says he got it from a state government, not the feds. So Dr. Con knows he is comparing apples and oranges.
