Notice of Meeting
Pursuant to the authority contained in Section 512 of the Employee
Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. 1142, a public
meeting of the Working Group on Defined Contribution Plans of the
Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans will be

This work group was formed by the Advisory Council to study issues
relating to defined contribution plans covered by ERISA.
The purpose of the September 9 meeting is to take testimony
regarding five areas of defined contribution plans, i.e., the role of
the trend toward participant self-directed investments in determining
benefit levels; the impact of the current regulatory scheme on benefit
levels for defined contribution plans in general and 401(k) plans in
particular; from a retirement policy perspective, the level of benefits
provided by defined contribution plans in general and 401(k) plans in
particular; mandatory employer contributions to defined contribution
plans as a possible source of increase in the overall retirement income
for most employees; the impact of increased educational efforts on
benefit levels; and the impact of increased disclosure on benefit
levels. The work group will also take testimony and/or submissions from
employee representatives, employer representatives and other interested
individuals and groups regarding the subject matter.
