mr. chairman , reclaiming my time , the chairman is correct . 
the department already collects this data and would be able to highlight this information in its annual report to congress with very little additional work . 
it is simply a matter of clearly communicating to the department that we would like to see focused information on high school-aged students in adult education reported by race , ethnicity , language proficiency , and program enrollment . 
i thank the chairman for continuing to work with me and the department to bring this critical information to the forefront .
