    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Assessment Governing Board is

    U.S.C. 1221e-1).
        The Board is established to formulate policy guidelines for the 
    National Assessment of Educational Progress. The Board is responsible 
    for selecting subject areas to be assessed, developing assessment 
    objectives, identifying appropriate achievement goals for each grade

    interstate and national comparisons.
        The Nominations Committee of the National Assessment Governing 
    Board will meet in closed session on February 7, 1994, from 9 a.m.

    Grade Classroom Teacher, Fourth Grade Classroom Teacher, Elementary 
    School Principal, Secondary School Principal, and General Public. The 
    review and subsequent discussion of this information will touch upon 
    matters that relate solely to the internal rules and practices of an
