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, at least five 
days before the meeting if possible, 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

Director prior to the meeting. In view of the possibility that the 
schedule for ACRS meetings 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) Public Law 
92-463 that it is necessary to close portions of this meeting noted

information that involves the internal personnel rules and practices of 
this Advisory Committee per 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2); and to discuss 
information the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted 
invasion of personal privacy per 5 U.S.C. 552(c)(6).

meeting has been cancelled or rescheduled, the Chairman's ruling on 
requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the time
