SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Advisory Council was established in 1976, at the direction of the Congress, to advise the Federal Reserve Board on the exercise of its duties under the Consumer Credit Protection Act and on other consumer-related matters. The Council by law represents the interests both of consumers and of the financial community (15 USC 1691(b)). Under the Rules of Organization and Procedure of the Consumer Advisory Council (12 CFR 267.3), members serve three-year terms that are staggered to provide the Council with continuity. New members will be selected for terms beginning January 1, 1997, to replace members whose terms expire this year. Nomination letters should include information about past and present positions held by the nominee; a description of special knowledge, interests or experience related to community reinvestment, consumer credit, or other consumer financial services; and the nominee's address and telephone number. Individuals may nominate themselves. The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity with community reinvestment or consumer financial services and who are willing to express their viewpoints. Candidates do not have to be experts on all levels of community reinvestment or consumer financial services, but they should possess some basic knowledge of the area. They must be able and willing to make the necessary time commitment to prepare for and attend meetings (usually for two days, including committee meetings) three times a year. In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the background of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation and geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of women and minority groups. The Board expects to announce its selection of new members by year-end. Council members whose terms end as of December 31, 1996, are: Katharine W.
