    Board of Governors; Notice of Vote to Close Meeting
    
        By telephone vote on April 6, 1995, a majority of the members 
    contacted and voting, the Board of Governors voted to close to public 
    observation its meeting scheduled for May 1, 1995, in New York, New 
    York. The members will consider a filing with the Postal Rate 
    Commission that concerns an experimental category of automatable, 
    prebarcoded First-Class and Priority parcels under Commission Rule 67.
        The meeting is expected to be attended by the following persons: 
    Governors Alvarado, Daniels, del Junco, Dyhrkopp, Mackie, Pace, and 
    Winters; Postmaster General Runyon, Deputy Postmaster General Coughlin, 
    Secretary to the Board Harris, and General Counsel Elcano.
        The Board determined that pursuant to section 552b(c)(3) of Title 
    5, United States Code, and Sec. 7.3(c) of Title 39, Code of Federal 
    Regulations, this portion of the meeting is exempt from the open 
    meeting requirement of the Government of the Sunshine Act [5 U.S.C. 
    552b(b)] because it is likely to disclose information in connection 
    with proceedings under Chapter 36 of Title 39, United States Code 
    (having to do with postal ratemaking, mail classification and changes 
    in postal services), which is specifically exempted from disclosure by 
    section 410(c)(4) of Title 39, United States Code.
        The Board has determined further that pursuant to section 
    552b(c)(10) of Title 5, United States Code, and Sec. 7.3(j) of Title 
    39, Code of Federal Regulations, the discussion is exempt because it is 
    likely to specifically concern participation of the Postal Service in a 
    civil action or proceeding involving a determination on the record 
    after opportunity for a hearing. The Board further determined that the 
    public interest does not require that the Board's discussion of the 
    matter be open to the public.
        In accordance with section 552b(f)(1) of Title 5, United States 
    Code, and Sec. 7.6(a) of Title 39, Code of Federal Regulations, the 
    General Counsel of the United States Postal Service has certified that 
    in her opinion the meeting may properly be closed to public observation 
    pursuant to section 552b(c)(3) and (10) of Title 5, United States Code; 
    section 410(c)(4) of Title 39, United States Code; and Sec. 7.3(c) and 
    (j) of Title 39, Code of Federal Regulations.
        Requests for information about the meeting should be addressed to 
    the Secretary of the Board, David F. Harris, at (202) 268-4800.
    David F. Harris,
    
    Secretary.
