Good news!  To quote the NAAL brochure's introduction: 

"The 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) 
is a nationally representative and continuing assessment of 
English language literacy skills of American adults....
providing the first indication of the nation's progress 
in adult literacy since 1992." 

TO DOWNLOAD, GO TO:  www.nces.ed.gov/naal.
CLICK ON: NAAL 2003: Overview.  It covers:

What Is the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL)? 
 What Does NAAL Measure? 
 What Are the New Features of NAAL? 
 What Is the Structure of the NAAL Interview? 

For a paper copy, call 1-877-4ED-Pubs (433-7827) 
or www.ed.gov/pubs (no charge)

It does not include information on the status of the 
data collection itself but it is a good sign!
