Meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee

AGENCY: United States Information Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Cultural Property Advisory Committee will meet on Thursday, 
January 28, 1999, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m., 
at the U.S. Information Agency, Room 840, 301 4th St., SW, Washington, 
DC, to continue its review of a cultural property request from the 
Government of the Republic of Cyprus to the Government of the United 
States seeking protection of certain archaeological and/or ethnological 
materials. A portion of the meeting, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 
approximately 9:30 a.m., will be open to interested parties wishing to 
provide comment that may be relevant to this request. The Cyprus 
request, submitted under Article 9 of the 1970 Convention on the Means 
of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer 
of Ownership of Cultural Property, is being considered in accordance 
with the provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property 
Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., Pub. L. 97-446). Since 
review of this matter by the Committee will involve information the 
premature disclosure of which would be likely to significantly 
frustrate implementation of proposed action, the meeting from 
approximately 9:30 a.m. to approximately 3:00 p.m. will be closed 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) and 19 U.S.C. 2605(h). Seating is 
limited. Persons wishing to attend the open portion of the meeting on 
January 28, must notify cultural property staff at (202) 619-6612 no 
later than 5 p.m. (EST) Tuesday, January 26, 1999, to obtain security 
clearance for admission into the USIA building.

    Dated: January 6, 1999.
Penn Kemble,
Deputy Director, United States Information Agency.
