Abstract	This Congressional hearing discussed the issue of reform of adult education and family literacy legislation. Testimony includes oral and written statements of U.S. senators and individuals representing the following: U.S. Department of Education; National Institute for Literacy; Dallas Can! Academy, Dallas, Texas; Pima County Adult Education, Tucson, Arizona; Delaware Department of Adult Education; and Central Vermont Adult Basic Education, Inc. The hearing focused on how the Federal Government, state governments and the private sector can improve the adult education delivery system. What are the goals for adult education? The three most important outcomes desired are: (1) increasing the number of high school diplomas or competencies for those who did not complete high school initially; (2) improving literacy skills, particularly by emphasizing the importance of literacy skills for parents; and (3) enhancing economic growth--productivity--so that all members of the workforce possess the necessary basic skills.
