    The Department of State has renewed the Charter of the Advisory 
Committee on International Economic Policy. The Advisory Committee

negotiating authority. More specifically, the Committee provides 
information and advice to the Secretary of State on effective 
integration of economic interests into overall foreign policy, the role 
and limits of international economic institutions, and State's role in 
advancing American commercial interests in a competitive global 
economy. The Under Secretary for Management has determined that the 
Committee is necessary and in the public interest.
    The committee includes representatives of American organizations 
and institutions having an interest in international economic policy, 
and may include representatives of: American business with significant 
international trade interests; American labor unions; public interest 
groups; and/or trade and professional associations whose membership

business consultants well-versed in such economic and trade aspects of 
foreign affairs; and academics representative of the various scholarly 
approaches to international economic policy.
    The Assistant Secretary for Economic and Business Affairs chairs 
the Advisory Committee for the Secretary of State. The Committee meets 
quarterly. The Committee will follow the procedures prescribed by the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). Meetings will be open to the 
public unless a determination is made in accordance with section 10(d)
