I think some of it was very subtle. Some of it has been addressed in the answer to previous questions.
As the federal policy narrowed and changed and they began to demand that organizations focus their work that way, it changed the nature of the work that organizations were doing. You began to say, well, I can't do that project; I can't do a family literacy research project because they're not going to fund it. You would look to see if there was somewhere else you could get support to do that. If there was, then perhaps you would go there. If there wasn't, then you would move that off the agenda.
Margo talked a little bit about something that we haven't addressed today, and that is that over those same years, because of the results from the international surveys, the federal government began to focus on people who were at level 3. It said you need be at level 3 to function well in our society, and it began to tell organizations that their projects that were going to be funded had to be addressing people who could be moved from level 2 to level 3 fairly quickly. People in literacy organizations on the ground will tell you that this was excluding people in the greatest need. That is, people who had the most needs, the most gaps, and who needed the most intervention, couldn't be served because they weren't going to meet that criterion.
