questions may be asked only by members of the Committee, its

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
