Union; Notice of Committee Renewal

    I. Renewal of Advisory Committee. The Department of State has 
renewed the Charter of the Advisory Committee for the Study of Eastern 
Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union. This 
advisory committee makes recommendations to the Secretary of State on 
funding for applications submitted for the Research and Training 
Program on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former 
Soviet Union (Title VIII). These applications are submitted in response 
to an annual, open competition among U.S. national organizations with 
interest and expertise administering research and training programs in 
the Russian, Eurasian, and East European fields. The program seeks to 
build and sustain U.S. expertise on these regions through support for 
advanced graduate training, language training, and postdoctoral 
research.
    The committee includes representatives of the Secretaries of 
Defense and Education, the Librarian of Congress, and the Presidents of 
the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies and the 
Association of American Universities. The Assistant Secretary for 
Intelligence and Research chairs the advisory committee for the 
Secretary of State. The committee meets at least annually to recommend 
grant policies and recipients.
