drawings in NARA holdings in College Park, MD, and to distribute copies 
of the Memorandum of Agreement which must be completed for 
participation in the program. Under this privatization program, NARA 
has permitted vendors to set up work stations in its building located 
in College Park, MD, where the still photographs and cartographic and 
architectural records of three NARA archival units are housed and made 
available. The three NARA units refer customer requests for 
reproduction of these media to the vendors, who determine fees, collect 
payments, perform the copying work, and mail the reproductions to the 
customers. Based on a satisfactory review of the program's overall 
performance, NARA has decided to extend the program for another year, 
though with some modifications.
    Effective March 6, 1998, the next anniversary date, NARA will open 
the program to interested vendors for a fourth year. All vendors 
interested in this program, including vendors already participating, 
are invited to attend a meeting on January 7, 1998, where copies of a 
Memorandum of Agreement specifying the terms of the program will be 
distributed. A follow-up meeting has been scheduled for February 4, 
1998, to answer any remaining questions from vendors. Attendance at the 
meetings does not require reservations. Attendance is encouraged, but 
not required, to participate in the program.

DATES: The initial meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 7, 1998, 
at 10 a.m. Copies of the Memorandum of Agreement also will be available 
beginning January 7, 1998, by contacting William T. Murphy (see FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
    The follow-up meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 4, 1998, 
at 10 a.m.
    Signed copies of the Memorandum of Agreement must be received by 
NARA by February 28, 1998.

ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held at the National Archives at 
College Park, in lecture room A, located at 8601 Adelphi Road, College 
Park, MD.
