NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES


National Council on the Humanities; Meeting

June 30, 1999.
    Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(Pub. L. 92-463, as amended) notice is hereby given the National 
Council on the Humanities will meet in Washington, DC on March 22-23, 
1999.
    The purpose of the meeting is to advise the Chairman of the 
National Endowment for the Humanities with respect to policies, 
programs, and procedures for carrying out his functions, and to review 
applications for financial support and gifts offered to the Endowment 
and to make recommendations thereon to the Chairman.
    The meeting will be held in the Old Post Office Building, 1100 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. A portion of the morning and 
afternoon sessions on July 15-16, 1999, will not be open to the public 
pursuant to subsections (c)(4), (6) and (9)(B) of section 552b of Title 
5, United States Code because the Council will consider information 
that may disclose: Trade secrets and commercial or financial 
information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential; 
information of a personal nature the disclosure of which will 
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; and 
information the disclosure of which would significantly frustrate 
implementation of proposed agency action. I have made this 
determination under the authority granted me by the Chairman's 
Delegation of Authority dated July 19, 1993.
