DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award's Board of Overseers
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, DOC.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app.
2, notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the Board of
Overseers of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award on Sunday,
December 4, 1994, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This meeting replaces the
meeting originally scheduled on Monday, November 14, 1994, rescheduled
because of last minute schedule changes by some of the Overseers. The
Board of Overseers consists of eight members prominent in the field of
quality management and appointed by the Secretary of Commerce,
assembled to advise the Secretary of Commerce on the conduct of the
Baldrige Award. The purpose of the meeting on December 4, 1994, will be
for the Board of Overseers to receive and then discuss reports from the
National Institute of Standards and Technology with the chairman of the
Judges Panel of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. These
reports will cover the following topics: Overview of the 1994 award
program; discussion of the Overseers survey of CEO's; discussions of
plans for the 1995 award, develop recommendations and report same to
The Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
DATES: The meeting will convene on Sunday, December 4, 1994 at 1:00
p.m., and adjourn at 6:00 p.m. on December 4, 1994.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the National Alliance of
Business, 1201 New York Avenue NW, Suite 700, Washington, D.C.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Curt W. Reimann, Director for
Quality Programs, National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, telephone number (301) 975-2036.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While it is Departmental policy to hold all
advisory committee meetings during normal working hours, the Department
has made an exception to this general policy since this meeting was
rescheduled due to last minute emergencies which included grave illness
and hospitalization of the wife of one of the Overseers and emergency
hospitalization of the Chairman of the Board. These emergencies, in
addition to the death of one Board member several weeks earlier and
prior commitment on the part of one member, reduced the attendance
enough to determine that full conduct of the business of the Board
would require that the meeting be rescheduled. The only available date
for the meeting, that would accommodate the schedules of the Overseers
and allow presentation of a report to the Secretary of Commerce on
December 5, was Sunday December 4, 1994.
Because of the unusual timing, this advisory committee has taken
extraordinary steps to insure access to this meeting by the public.
Anyone wishing to attend should register with the guard on duty in the
lobby at 1201 New York Avenue, Washington, D.C., who will then give
directions to the meeting room.
Dated: November 18, 1994.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
