Technology's Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology (NIST) will meet 
on Tuesday, September 12, 1995, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The 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 8:30 
a.m. and to end at 9:30 a.m. on September 12, 1995, will be closed.

DATES: The meeting will convene September 12, 1995, at 8:30 a.m. and 
will adjourn at 5 p.m. on September 12, 1995.

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 25, 1995, 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 
issues 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 meetings is likely to reveal 
information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

    Dated: August 27, 1995.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
