SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Agency Meetings

    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, Pub. L. 94-409, that the Securities and 
Exchange Commission will hold the following meetings during the week of 
April 3, 2000.

[[Page 17548]]

    An open meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2000 at 10:00 
a.m. in Room 6600.
    The subject matters of the open meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 
April 5, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 6600 will be:
    (1) The Commission will consider whether to propose rule amendments 
and new rules to (i) require investment advisers to submit their 
investment adviser filings on an electronic filing system, currently 
being developed by the Commission and the state securities authorities; 
(ii) substantially update and revise Form ADV to accommodate electronic 
filing; and (iii) require advisers to deliver to clients a narrative 
brochure written in plain English. The Commission and the state 
securities authorities are creating an Internet-based system of 
electronic filing for investment advisers. The system is called the 
Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD) and will permit 
investment advisers to satisfy filing obligations under state and 
federal laws by making a single electronic filing. Information 
contained in filings made through the IARD will be stored in a database 
that members of the public will be able to access free of charge 
through the Internet. The IARD is being built and will be operated for 
the Commission by NASD Regulation, Inc. (NASDR). For further 
information, please contact: Lori H. Price at (202) 942-0716.
    (2) The Commission will hear oral argument on appeals by Marc N. 
Geman and the Division of Enforcement from an administrative law 
judge's initial decision imposing sanctions on Geman. For further 
information, contact Kermit Kennedy at (202) 942-0950.
    Closed meetings will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2000, following 
the 10:00 a.m. open meeting and on Thursday, April 6, 2000 at 11:00 
a.m.
