US Government interest qualified or not?

In the interactive interview:

"Enter U.S. Government interest
Enter the amount of dividends reported on this 1099-DIV from [broker] that represents interest from U.S. Government obligations.
U.S. Government interest"

My statement from my broker breaks it down as "Interest reported as dividends":
     U.S. Government Interest Reported as Dividends:
          Total for year ......   xxx
          Qualified   ..........    yyy

Which number is wanted?
