SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee on Student Financial

of 1965 as amended by Public Law 100-50 (20 U.S.C. 1098). The Advisory
Committee is established to provide advice and counsel to the Congress
and the Secretary of Education on student financial aid matters,
including providing technical expertise with regard to systems of need
analysis and application forms, making recommendations that will result
in the maintenance of access to postsecondary education for low- and
middle-income students, conducting a study of institutional lending in
the Stafford Student Loan Program and an in-depth study of student loan
simplification. As a result of passage of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993, Congress assigned the Advisory
Committee the major task of evaluating the Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program (FDLP) and the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).
The Committee will report to the Secretary and Congress on not less
than an annual basis on the operation of both programs and submit a
final report by January 1, 1997.
The Advisory Committee will meet in Washington, DC on April 11,
1995, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The proposed agenda includes discussion sessions on the FFELP.
Among the topics to be addressed are: an update on current and future
opportunities for streamlining the FFELP; program integrity; and
