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 4:00 
p.m. and to end at 5:00 p.m. on September 13, 1994, will be closed.

DATES: The meeting will convene September 13, 1994, at 8:30 a.m. and 
will adjourn at 5:00 p.m. on September 13, 1994.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in Lecture Room A, Administration

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chris E. Kuyatt, Visiting Committee Executive Director, National 
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 2, 1994, 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 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 meeting is likely to reveal information of a personal 
nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy.

    Dated: August 4, 1994.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
