SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ATP statute originated in the Omnibus 
Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-418, 15 U.S.C. 
278n), and was amended by the American Technology Preeminence Act of 
1991 (Public Law 102-245). This law has been codified at 15 U.S.C. 
278n. The ATP implementing regulations are published at 15 CFR part 
295, as amended. The ATP is a competitive cost-sharing program designed 
for the Federal government to work in partnership with industry, 
universities, and states to accelerate the development and broad 
dissemination of challenging, high-risk technologies that offer the 
potential for significant commercial payoffs and widespread benefits 
for the nation.
    The Technology Conference title, ``Are You Sure, It is Secure?'' 
and ``How to Secure Your Share of Federal Funding,'' will consist of 
three Tracks. The Advanced Technology Program will host a robust track 
on Advanced Technology Development and Commercialization Opportunities. 
This track will focus on information about the over $1 billion of 
funding opportunities available for advanced technology research from 
Federal government agencies. Sessions will emphasize and highlight 
minority businesses' and universities' participation in these programs. 
Hampton University will host two tracks, the first ``Cyber Crimes: An 
In-depth Understanding'', and the second, ``Information Security and 
Assurance.''
