Once again it appears to give short shrift to adult literacy programs whose students and instruction are not job-directed but who have other legitimate goals important to the nation's well-being and individual lives (i.e. voluntary, CBO, and library literacy programs). And once again "adult literacy" as such might be pushed so far back into the shadows that hard-fought gains of the past couple of decades may be lost. I hope I'm wrong. Gail Spangenberg
