Abstract: This clearance request is for the background questions
for the National Assessment of Educational Progress Long-Term Trend.
These are a series of surveys that have been conducted since 1986. This
assessment will be conducted in 2003/2004. Since bridging studies will
be required to relate the existing format to the newly adopted format,
some questionnaires will still consist of all the existing questions,
thus all are being submitted for clearance. In these assessments,
students 9, 13 and 17 years of age are assessed.
