SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Advisory Council on Indian

of 1988 (25 U.S.C. 2642). The council is established to, among other 
things, assist the Secretary of Education in carrying out 
responsibilities under the Indian Education Act of 1988 (Part C, Title 
V, Pub. L. 100-297) and to advise Congress and the Secretary of 
Education with regard to federal education programs in which Indian 
children or adults participate or from which they can benefit and 
submit a list on nominees for the position of Director, Office of 
Indian Education.
    The Chairman of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education 
has called for a meeting of the full Council from September 20-23, 
1994. On Tuesday, September 20, and Wednesday, September 21, the agenda 
consists of an orientation session for newly appointed members that

current Indian education issues; and meeting with officials from the 
Department of Education and with representatives of Indian 
organizations.
    The closed portion of the meeting will be held on Wednesday,

interviewing candidates for the position of Director, Office of Indian 
Education. Subsequently, the Council will submit recommendations to the 
Secretary of Education for filling such vacancy. Interviews with the 
candidates and discussions held in conjunction with the selection 
process will involve matters which relate solely to the internal 
personnel rules and practices of the Council and are likely to disclose 
information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy if conducted in open 
session. Such matters are protected by exemptions (2) and (6) of 
section 552b(c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act (Pub. L. 94-409;
