Maryland: The Pakistani American Public
Affairs Committee is proud to announce the completion of
a milestone of their database of Pakistani-American household
across the United States, says a Press Release received
by Pakistan Link. It adds: PAKPAC now has developed mechanisms
for access to about 250,000 households in the United States.
At this stage the database is only targeting the larger
