NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES


National Council on the Humanities; Meeting

July 1, 1997.
    Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(Public L. 92-463, as amended) notice is hereby given that a meeting of 
the National Council on the Humanities will be held in Washington, D.C. 
on July 17-18, 1997.
    The purpose of the meeting is to advise the Chairman of the 
National Endowment for the Humanities with respect to policies, 
programs, and procedures for carrying out his functions, and to review 
applications for financial support and gifts offered to the Endowment 
and to make recommendations thereon to the Chairman.
    The meeting will be held in the Old Post Office Building, 1100 
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. A portion of the morning 
and afternoon sessions on July 17-18, 1997, will not be open to the 
public pursuant to subsections (c)(4), (6) and (9)(B) of section 552b 
of Title 5, United States Code because the Council will consider 
information that may disclose: trade secrets and commercial or 
financial information obtained from a person and privileged or 
confidential; information of a personal nature the disclosure of which 
will constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; and 
information the disclosure of which would significantly frustrate 
implementation of proposed agency action. I have made this 
determination under the authority granted me by the Chairman's 
Delegation of Authority dated July 19, 1993.
