SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee on Student Financial 
Assistance is established under Section 491 of the Higher Education Act 
of 1965 as amended by Public Law 100-50 (20 U.S.C. 1098). The Advisory 
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. The Advisory Committee fulfills its charge by 
conducting objective, nonpartisan, and independent analyses of 
important student aid issues. As a result of passage of the Omnibus 
Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993, Congress assigned the 
Advisory Committee the major task of evaluating the Ford Federal Direct 
Loan Program (FDLP) and the Federal Family Education Loan Program 
(FFELP). The Committee will report to the Secretary and Congress on not 
less than an annual basis on the operation of both programs and submit 
a final report by January 1, 1997.
    The Advisory Committee will meet in Bristol, Rhode Island on August 
7, 1995,
