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, and 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 the Secretary and Congress on 
not less than an annual basis on the operation of both programs.

    The Advisory Committee will meet in Boulder, Colorado on June 6, 
1994, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
    The proposed agenda includes discussion sessions on the 
implications of planned delivery system changes on the FDSL and FFEL 
programs. Those who cannot attend the hearing are invited to submit 
written testimony which will be presented to the Advisory Committee 
members.
    The intent of the Boulder, Colorado hearing is to involve as 
witnesses many of the financial aid administrators and members of the 
higher education community from that region. In addition, congressional 
staff are being invited to share their views on the delivery system and 
loan programs.
    Records are kept of all Committee proceedings, and are available 
for public inspection at the Office of the Advisory Committee on 
Student Financial Assistance, room 4600, 7th and D Street SW., 
Washington DC from the hours of 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., weekdays, except 
Federal holidays.

    Dated: May 24, 1994.
Dr. Brian K. Frizgerald,
Staff Director, Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance.
