BROADCASTING BOARD OF GOVERNORS


Sunshine Act Meeting

DATE AND TIME: December 12, 2000; 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

PLACE: Cohen Building, Room 3321, 330 Independence Ave., SW., 
Washington, DC 20237.

Closed Meeting

    The members of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) will meet 
in closed session to review and discuss a number of issues relating to 
U.S. Government-funded non-military international broadcasting. They 
will address internal procedural, budgetary, and personnel issues, as 
well as sensitive foreign policy issues relating to potential options 
in the U.S. international broadcasting field. This meeting is closed 
because if open it likely would either disclose matters that would be 
properly classified to be kept secret in the interest of foreign policy 
under the appropriate executive order (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(1)) or would 
disclose information the premature disclosure of which would be likely 
to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. 
(5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(9)(B)) In addition, part of the discussion will 
relate solely to the internal personnel and organizational issues of 
the BBG or the International Broadcasting Bureau. (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(2) 
and (6)).

CONTACT PERSON FOR MORE INFORMATION: Persons interested in obtaining 
more information should contact either Brenda Hardnett or Carol Booker 
at (202) 401-3736.

    Dated: December 1, 2000.
Carol Booker,
Legal Counsel.

Certification

    Based on the information provided to me, the meeting scheduled by 
the Broadcasting Board of Governors for December 12, 2000, may be 
closed to the public pursuant to sections (c)(1), (2), (6), and 9(B) of 
the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b.).
    Issues qualifying for closure of the meeting will be inextricably 
intertwined with issues which do not so qualify. During the course of 
the meeting there will be discussions relating to foreign policy 
options (c)(1), internal BBG or IBB personnel, budgetary, and 
organizational matters (c)(2), the performance or selection of 
personnel (c)(6), and options for negotiations or other sensitive 
discussions within the U.S. or abroad. (c)(9)(B).

Carol Booker,
BBG Legal Counsel.
