SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Meetings of the National Satellite Land 
Remote Sensing Data Archive Advisory Committee are open to the public. 
The required lead time for notification of this meeting could not be 
met due to an unforseen need to move the meeting to an alternate and 
earlier date. Inadequate motel and commercial airline connections to 
Sioux Falls, South Dakota forced the rescheduling of the Committee 
Meeting to the only available date given the conflicts with Sioux Falls 
accommodations.

    Dated: October 21, 1998.
Richard E. Witmer,
Chief, National Mapping Division.
