    Date and Time: Thursday, February 16, 1995, 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 
p.m. Friday, February 17, 1995, 9:00 a.m. until noon.

    Status: Parts of this meeting will be open to the public. Parts of 
this meeting will be closed to the public.
    Matters to be Considered: The standards of accreditation applied to 
medical schools by a number of foreign countries and the comparability 
of those standards to standards of accreditation applied to United 
States medical schools.
    Discussions of the standards of accreditation will be held in 
sessions open to the public. Discussions directly bearing upon the 
determinations of comparability will be held in closed sessions.
    Discussions of determinations of comparability must be closed to 
the public because premature disclosure of any determination might 
significantly frustrate the implementation of a proposed Department 
action.

Education and Accreditation is established under section 481 of the 
Higher Education Act, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1088). This Committee is 
not an advisory committee under the Federal Advisory Committee Act but 
rather carries out operational activities of the U.S. Department of 
Education.
