Notice of Meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee
The Cultural Property Advisory Committee will meet on Tuesday,
October 12, 1999, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on
Wednesday, October 13, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at
the United States Information Agency building (after October 1, 1999,
renamed Department of State, Annex 44), Room 840, 301 4th St., S.W.,
Washington, D.C., to review a request from the Government of the
Republic of Italy to the Government of the United States seeking import
restrictions on archaeological materials. A portion of the meeting,
from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on October 12, will be open
to interested parties wishing to provide comment on this request. The
request, submitted under Article 9 of the 1970 Convention on the Means
of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer
of Ownership on Cultural Property, will be considered in accordance
with the provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property
Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Since review of this
matter by the Committee will involve information the premature
disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate
implementation of proposed action, the meeting from approximately 8:30
a.m. to 12 noon, and from approximately 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
October 12, and from approximately 8:30 a.m. to approximately 11:00

to 19 U.S.C. 2605(h). Persons wishing to attend the open portion of the
meeting on October 12, approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., must call
