    The Committee was established on July 19, 1965 as the Frequency

The objective of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of Commerce 
on radio frequency spectrum planning matters and means by which the 
effectiveness of Federal Government frequency management may be 
enhanced. The Committee consists of nineteen members, fifteen from the 
private sector, and four from the Federal Government, whose knowledge 
of telecommunications is balanced in the functional areas of 
manufacturing, analysis and planning, operations, research, academia 
and international negotiations.
    The principal agenda items for the meeting will be:
    (1) Discussion of GPS Spectrum Issues for WRC-99;
    (2) Present and Future Spectrum Management Actions;
    (3) ITU Conferences (D Sector, Plenipot, WRC-99); and
    (4) Public Safety Program update.
    The meeting will be open to public observations. Public entrance to 
the building through the main entrance is on 14th Street midway between 
Pennsylvania Avenue and Constitution Avenue. A period will be set aside 
for oral comments or questions by the public which do not exceed 10 
minutes each per member of the public. More extensive questions or 
comments should be submitted in writing before June 1, 1998. Other 
public statements regarding Committee affairs may be submitted at any 
time before or after the meeting. Approximately 20 seats will be
