Notice of a Closed Meeting of the Office of AIDS Research 
Advisory Council

    Pursuant to sec. 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA), as amended (Title 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), notice is hereby given 
of the meeting of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council (OARAC) 
of March 13, 1996, at the Doubletree Hotel, 1750 Rockville Pike, 
Rockville, Maryland. In accordance with the provisions set forth in 
sec. 552b(c)(9), Title U.S.C. and sec. 10(d) of FACA, this meeting of 
the OARAC will be closed to the public.
    The NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 authorized the OARAC to provide 
expert advice to the Director of the Office of AIDS Research. The 
meeting will be closed because information of an administrative 
confidential nature involving budget and program priorities from the 
NIH AIDS Research Evaluation Working Group will be discussed with the 
OARAC. Issues related to peer review and the process used to select 
projects for funding will also be discussed. Premature disclosure of 
this information is likely to significantly frustrate implementation of 
the NIH AIDS Research Program.
    Further information concerning the OARAC meeting may be obtained 
from Jeannette R. De Lawter, Program Analyst, Office of AIDS Research, 
National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 4B54, 9000 Rockville 
Pike, Bethesda, MD 20892, Phone [phone], Fax [phone].

    Date: February 15, 1996.
Susan K. Feldman,
Committee Management Officer, NIH.
