    [Public Notice # 2972]
    
    
    Overseas Presence Advisory Panel; Notice of Establishment
    
        The Department of State's Overseas Presence Advisory Panel is 
    established for FY 1999. The Panel is determined by the Secretary of 
    State to be in the public interest in connection with the performance 
    of duties imposed on the Department by law. The Panel shall terminate 
    on September 30, 1999, unless it is renewed or extended by appropriate 
    action prior to that date.
        The Advisory Panel will advise the Secretary of State with respect 
    to the Department of State's responsibilities for ensuring appropriate 
    U.S. Government representation in foreign countries commensurate with 
    the effective conduct of foreign relations. The Panel is charged with 
    preparing a report recommending the criteria by which the Department, 
    working with Chiefs of Mission, might determine the location, size, and 
    composition of overseas posts in the coming decade. The Panel is tasked 
    with considering the level and type of representation required overseas 
    in order effectively to conduct America's business in the face of new 
    foreign policy priorities, a heightened security situation, and 
    extremely limited resources. The Panel shall be comprised of prominent 
    persons from government and private life who shall have expertise in 
    governmental or non-governmental dealings with foreign countries, their 
    people, and their institutions.
    
        Dated: February 12, 1999.
    Ambassador William H. Itoh,
    Executive Secretary, Overseas Presence Advisory Panel.
