    Rehabilitation Research and Development Service Scientific Merit 
    Review Board; Notice of Meeting
    
        The Department of Veterans Affairs gives notice under Public Law 
    92-463 (Federal Advisory Committee Act) as amended, by section 5(c) of 
    Public Law 94-409 that a meeting of the Rehabilitation Research and 
    Development Service Scientific Merit Review Board will be held at the 
    Vista International Hotel, 1400 M Street, NW, Washington, DC, on July 
    11 through July 14, 1995.
        The session on July 11, 1995, is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. 
    and end at 9:30 p.m. The sessions on July 12, 13, 14, 1995, are 
    scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. The purpose of the 
    meeting is to review rehabilitation research and development 
    applications for scientific and technical merit and to make 
    recommendations to the Director, Rehabilitation Research and 
    Development Service, regarding their funding.
        The meeting will be open to the public up to the seating capacity 
    of the room for the July 11th session for the discussion of 
    administrative matters, the general status of the program, and the 
    administrative details of the review process. On July 12-14, 1995, the 
    meeting is closed during which the Board will be reviewing research and 
    development applications.
        This review involves oral comments, discussion of site visits, 
    staff and consultant critiques of proposed research protocols, and 
    similar analytical documents that necessitate the consideration of the 
    personal qualifications, performance and competence of individual 
    research investigators. Disclosure of such information would constitute 
    a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Disclosure would 
    also reveal research proposals and research underway which could lead 
    to the loss of these projects to third parties and thereby frustrate 
    future agency research efforts.
        Thus, the closing is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), and 
    (9)(B) and the determination of the Secretary of the Department of 
    Veterans Affairs under Sections 10(d) of Pub. L. 92-463 as amended by 
    Section 5(c) of Pub. L. 94-409.
        Due to the limited seating capacity of the room, those who plan to 
    attend the open session should write to Ms. Victoria Mongiardo, Program 
    Analyst, Rehabilitation Research and Development Service, Department of 
    Veterans Affairs, 103 South Gay Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. 
    Phone (410-962-2563) at least five days before the meeting.
    
        Dated: June 8, 1995.
    
        By direction of the Secretary.
    Heyward Bannister,
    Committee Management Officer.
