the open portions of the meeting and questions may be asked only by
members of the Committee, its consultants, and staff. Persons desiring

limited to selected portions of the meeting as determined by the
Chairman. Information regarding the time to be set aside for this

the schedule for ACRS meetings may be adjusted by the Chairman as
necessary to facilitate the conduct of the meeting, persons planning to
