ANNOUNCEMENT/ REMINDER

We are asking for your input on a document that will articulate a
vision for the future of adult literacy with respect to health issues
and describe specific action steps to accomplish that vision. A draft
of "National Adult Literacy and Health Vision and Action Agenda" is
now posted to the Health and Literacy Special Collection Website at
http://www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs. Your review and comments are
requested.

This paper is one of four papers commissioned by the National
Literacy Summit 2000 to generate focused thinking on specific issues
and create action agenda items that will strengthen the adult
education system in the United States.

A group of nine literacy and health practitioners from across the
country developed this draft for the field's consideration. You will
be able to read the document and send your comments or suggestions
directly to us via the Website.  The document will be up on the site
for two weeks.  We will then review all comments and thoughtfully
incorporate your feedback with the goal of submitting a final draft to
the National Institute for Literacy by June 1, 2000.

Thank you in advance for your contributions to this process.  If you
have questions or concerns, please email the process facilitator, Judy
Titzel, at jtitzel@worlded.org.
