statements may be presented by members of the public, electronic 
recordings will be permitted only during the open portions of the 
meeting, and questions may be asked only by members of the 
Committee, its consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral 
statements should notify the ACRS Executive Director, Dr. John T. 
Larkins, as far in advance as practicable so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made to allow the necessary time during the 
meeting for such statements. Use of still, motion picture, and 
television cameras during this meeting may be limited to selected 
portions of the meeting as determined by the Chairman. Information 
regarding the time to be set aside for this purpose may be obtained 
by contacting the ACRS Executive Director prior to the meeting. In 
view of the possibility that the schedule for ACRS meeting may be 
adjusted by the Chairman as necessary to facilitate the conduct of 
the meeting, persons planning to attend should check with the ACRS 
Executive Director if such rescheduling would result in major 
inconvenience.
    I have determined in accordance with Subsection 10(d) P.L. 92-

on requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the
