    The Act directs the Board to provide guidance to the Congress in

and suggestions for research topics. The meeting of the Board is open

96 budget for the Office of Educational Research and Improvement and

preliminary report on priorities planning which will be issued in 
October 1995. The Board's Committee on Partnerships and Outreach will 
present its recommendations on strengthening linkages with 
representatives of research, practitioner, and policy-making 
communities so that research findings can improve practice.
    On September 29 the Board will hear a report from its Committee on 
Regional Educational Laboratories which will focus on quality control 
and issues centering on knowledge transfer. The Board will also take up 
planning, scheduling, and budget for its activities in FY 96. A final
