Technology's Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology (NIST) will meet
on Tuesday, September 12, 1995, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Visiting
Committee on Advanced Technology is composed of nine members appointed
by the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
who are eminent in such fields as business, research, new product
development, engineering, labor, education, management consulting,
environment, and international relations. The purpose of this meeting
is to review and make recommendations regarding general policy for the
Institute, its organization, its budget, and its programs within the
framework of applicable national policies as set forth by the President
and the Congress. The agenda will include presentations on NIST
programs, the Advanced Technology Program: progress report and program
definition, the Manufacturing Extension Partnerships, laboratory tours,
and a discussion of the Institute budget.
Discussions on the NIST budget, including funding of the Applied
Technology Program and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership and the
staffing of management positions at NIST scheduled to begin at 8:30
a.m. and to end at 9:30 a.m. on September 12, 1995, will be closed.
DATES: The meeting will convene September 12, 1995, at 8:30 a.m. and

Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899,
telephone number (301) 975-6090.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary for Administration,
with the concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determined on
August 25, 1995, that portions of the meeting of the Visiting Committee
on Advanced Technology which involve discussion of proposed funding of
the ATP and the MEP Programs may be closed in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(B), because those portions of the meetings will divulge
matters the premature disclosure of which would be likely to
significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency actions; and
that portions of meetings which involve discussion of the staffing
issues of management and other positions at NIST may be closed in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), because divulging information
discussed in those portions of the meetings is likely to reveal
information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Dated: August 27, 1995.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
