SUMMARY: In 1991 the IRS established the Information Reporting Program 
Advisory Committee (IRPAC). The primary purpose of IRPAC is to provide 
an organized public forum for discussion of relevant information 
reporting issues between the officials of the IRS and representatives 
of the payer community. IRPAC offers constructive observations about 
current or proposed policies, programs, and procedures and, when 
necessary, suggests ways to improve the operation of the Information 
Reporting Program.
    There will be a meeting of IRPAC on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 17 & 
18, 1994. The meeting will be held in room 3313 of the Internal Revenue 
Service Building. The building is located at 1111 Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m., on both days, 
concluding about mid-day on the 20th. Topics to be discussed are listed
