SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Educational Research Policy and

Research, Development, Dissemination,

[[Page 18102]]

and Improvement Act of 1994. The Board works collaboratively with the 
Assistant Secretary for the Office of Educational Research and 
Improvement to forge a national consensus with respect to a long-term 
agenda for educational research, development, and dissemination, and to 
provide advice and assistance to the Assistant Secretary in 
administering the duties of the Office.
    The meeting of the Executive Committee is open to the public, 
except for a portion which will be closed from 3 to 4 p.m. The proposed 
agenda includes a review of the Board's work plan and budget, staff 
assignments, committee appointments, and discussion of the Regional 
Educational Laboratory initiative. The meeting will be closed to the 
public from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. under the authority of Section 10(d) of 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463; 5 U.S.C. Appendix 
I) and under exemptions (2) and (6) of Section 552b(c) of Title 5 
U.S.C. (Pub. L. 94-409; 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6)) to discuss the procedure 
for the evaluation of the executive director. The Committee will 
consider matters that relate solely to the internal rules and practices 
of the Board and performance of the incumbent in this position, matters 
which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal 
privacy if conducted in open session.
    A final agenda will be available from the Board office on April 11, 
1997.
    A summary of the activities at the closed session and related 
matters which are informative to the public consistent with the policy

of the meeting.
    Records are kept of all Board proceedings and are available for 
public inspection at the office of the National Educational Research 
Policy and Priorities Board, Suite 100, 80 F St., NW., Washington, DC 
20208-7564.

    Dated: April 8, 1997.
Eve M. Bither,
Executive Director.
