SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Advisory Council on Indian

things, assist the Secretary of Education in carrying out
responsibilities under the Indian Education Act of 1988 (Part C, Title
V, Pub. L. 100-297) and to advise Congress and the Secretary of
Education with regard to federal education programs in which Indian
children or adults participate or from which they can benefit and
submit a list on nominees for the position of Director, Office of
Indian Education.
The Chairman of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education

consists of an orientation session for newly appointed members that

Department of Education and with representatives of Indian
organizations.
The closed portion of the meeting will be held on Wednesday,

interviewing candidates for the position of Director, Office of Indian
Education. Subsequently, the Council will submit recommendations to the
Secretary of Education for filling such vacancy. Interviews with the
candidates and discussions held in conjunction with the selection
process will involve matters which relate solely to the internal
personnel rules and practices of the Council and are likely to disclose
information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy if conducted in open
session. Such matters are protected by exemptions (2) and (6) of
section 552b(c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act (Pub. L. 94-409;
