    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee on Student Financial 
    Assistance is established under Section 491 of the Higher Education Act 
    of 1965 as amended by Public Law 100-50 (20 U.S.C. 1098). The Advisory 
    Committee is established to provide advice and counsel to the Congress 
    and the Secretary of Education on student financial aid matters, 
    including providing technical expertise with regard to systems of need 
    analysis and application forms, making recommendations that will result 
    in the maintenance of access to postsecondary education for low- and 
    middle-income students, conducting a study of institutional lending in 
    the Stafford Student Loan Program, and an in-depth study of student 
    loan simplification. As a result of passage of the Omnibus Budget 
    Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993, the Congress also directed the 
    Advisory Committee to conduct an evaluation of the Federal Direct 
    Student Loan Program (FDSLP) and the Federal Family Education Loan 
    Program (FFELP) and submit a report to Congress and the Secretary on 
    not less than an annual basis on the operation of both programs.
        The Advisory Committee will meet in Cambridge, Massachusetts on 
    Thursday, August 25, 1994, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Friday, 
    August 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
        The proposed agenda includes (a) a discussion on direct lending 
    implementation; (b) a discussion session on evaluation of the Federal 
    Direct Student Loan and Federal Family Education Loan programs for year 
    two; (c) the Department of Education's plans for Phase II, Student Aid 
    Reform; (d) an update on the delivery system; and (e) an Advisory 
    Committee regulatory update and planning session for the upcoming 
    year's agenda. Space is limited and you are encouraged to register
