DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Domestic Finance; Community Adjustment and Investment Program,
Advisory Committee Open Meeting
The Department of the Treasury, pursuant to the North American Free
Trade Agreement (``NAFTA'') Implementation Act (Pub. L. No. 103-182),
established an advisory committee (the ``Advisory Committee'') for the
community adjustment and investment program (the ``Program''). The
Program will provide financing to businesses and individuals in
communities adversely impacted by NAFTA to create new jobs. The charter
of the Advisory Committee has been filed in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act of October 6, 1972 (Pub. L. No. 92-463), with
the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The Advisory Committee consists of nine members of the public,
appointed by the President, who collectively represent: (1) community
groups whose constituencies include low-income families; (2)
scientific, professional, business, nonprofit, or public interest
organizations or associations, which are neither affiliated with, nor
under the direction of, a government; and (3) for-profit business
interests.
The objectives of the Advisory Committee are to: (1) provide
informed advice to the President regarding the implementation of the
Program; and (2) review on a regular basis, the operation of the
Program, and provide the President with the conclusions of its review.
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 12916, dated May 13, 1994, the
President established an interagency committee to implement the Program
and to receive, on behalf of the President, advice of the Advisory
Committee. The committee is chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury.
A meeting of the Advisory Committee, which will be open to the
public, will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Doubletree
Hotel, Ballroom Salon III, 201 Marquette Avenue, N.W., Albuquerque, New
Mexico 87104, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, February 12, 1997.
