SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee on Student Financial

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, 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 Congress and the Secretary on 
not less than an annual basis on the operation of both programs.
    The Advisory Committee will meet in Cambridge, Massachusetts on

implementation; (b) a discussion session on evaluation of the Federal 
Direct Student Loan and Federal Family Education Loan programs for year

Reform; (d) an update on the delivery system; and (e) an Advisory 
Committee regulatory update and planning session for the upcoming 
year's agenda. Space is limited and you are encouraged to register
