    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Public Law 92-463

    The Committee is composed of nine members appointed by the 
Secretary of Commerce. The Committee provides an organized and 
continuing channel of communication between the communities they 
represent and the Bureau of the Census on its efforts to reduce the 
differential in the population totals from Census 2000 and on ways that 
decennial census data can be disseminated to maximize their usefulness 
to their communities and other users.
    The committee will draw on past experience with the 1990 census 
process and procedures, results of evaluations and research studies, 
and the expertise and insight of its members to provide advice and 
recommendations during the research and development, design, planning, 
and implementation phases of Census 2000.
    The agenda for the meeting on December 10, which will begin at 1:30 
p.m. and adjourn at 5:30 p.m., covers the American Indian and Alaska 
Native enumeration plan, geography issues, and staffing needs.
    The meeting is open to the public, and a brief period is set aside 
during the closing session for public comment and questions. Those 
persons with extensive questions or statements must submit them in 
writing to the Census Bureau Committee Liaison Officer, Ms. Maxine 
Anderson-Brown, Room 3039, Federal Building 3, Washington, D.C. 20233, 
at least three days before the meeting.
    This meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities.
