SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Meetings of the National Satellite Land
Remote Sensing Data Archive Advisory Committee are open to the public.
The required lead time for notification of this meeting could not be
met due to an unforseen need to move the meeting to an alternate and
earlier date. Inadequate motel and commercial airline connections to
Sioux Falls, South Dakota forced the rescheduling of the Committee
Meeting to the only available date given the conflicts with Sioux Falls
accommodations.
Dated: October 21, 1998.
Richard E. Witmer,
Chief, National Mapping Division.
