programs within the framework of applicable national policies as set 
forth by the President and the Congress. The agenda will include a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Assistant Secretary for Administration, 
with the concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determined on 
January 13, 2000 that portions of the meeting of the Advanced 
Technology Program Advisory Committee which involve discussion of 
proposed funding of the Advanced Technology Program may be closed in 
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B), because those portions of the 
meetings will divulge matters the premature disclosure of which would 
be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency 
actions; and that portions of meetings which involve discussion of 
staffing of positions in ATP may be closed in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(6), because divulging information discussed in those portions 
of the meetings is likely to reveal information of a personal nature 
where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of 
personal privacy.

    Dated: January 13, 2000.
Karen H. Brown,
Deputy Director.
