SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Information Technologies in 
the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration 
will conduct a public meeting on Wednesday, November 8, 2000 at 9 a.m., 
in room 3407, Herbert C. Hoover Building, 14th and Constitution Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20230. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce 
to U.S. information technology (IT) suppliers a new approach to IT 
market development overseas and explore ways to collaborate in this 
effort. There will be a demonstration and discussion of the IT 
Management Planning Tool, which was created to serve as a market 
stimulator for U.S. suppliers to generate demand for their IT products 
and services overseas. The IT Tool is a software application which 
helps management of businesses and government agencies assess their 
current IT usage and plan for future IT investments that can improve 
their operations. Because the IT Tool is intended for overseas 
audiences, the contents of the Tool will be localized and translated 
into several languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, 
Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. U.S. information 
technology suppliers and service providers interested in partnering 
with the U.S. Department of Commerce in this unique overseas market 
development effort should attend the meeting.
    The meeting is open to the public, however, seating in room 3407 is 
limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. Those 
planning on attending the meeting should inform the Office of 
Information Technologies by October 27, 2000. To request further
