Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act (20 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.), and title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3056 et seq.).

(c) Report

The Secretary shall prepare and submit to Congress not later than January 1, 1994, a report listing recommended data elements and their definitions, and containing an analysis of the benefits of the adoption of the data elements and definitions.
