Notice of Meeting
In accordance with section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), announcement is made of the following
special emphasis panel scheduled to meet during the month of May 1994:
Name: Health Care Policy and Research Special Emphasis Panel.
Dates and Times: May 3-4, 1994, 9:00 A.M. Place: Ramada Inn,

This meeting will be closed to the public.
Purpose: The Panel's charge is to provide advice and
recommendations to the Secretary and to the Administrator, Agency
for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), regarding the
scientific and technical merit of contract proposals submitted in
response to a specific Request for Proposals (PHS 94-2). The purpose
of this contract, entitled Consumer Choices and Health Care Reform,

preventative health services. The final product should have the
capacity to be adapted for new categories of choices related to a
reformed system of health care.
Agenda: The session of this Panel will be devoted entirely to
the technical review and evaluation of contract proposals submitted
in response to a specific Request for Proposals. The Administrator,
AHCPR, has made a formal determination that this meeting will not be
open to the public. This is necessary to protect the free exchange
of views and avoid undue interference with Panel and Department
operations, and safeguard confidential proprietary information and
personal information concerning individuals associated with the
proposals that may be revealed during the sessions. This is in
accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
5 U.S.C. Appendix 2, Department regulations, 45 CFR 11.5(a)(6), and
procurement regulations, 48 CFR 315.604(d).
