[[Page 51308]]

Health and Human Services, which administers the National Institute for 
Literacy (Institute). The Interagency Group considers the Board's 
recommendations in planning the goals of the Institute and in 
implementing any programs to achieve those goals. Specifically, the 
Board performs the following functions: (a) Makes recommendations 
concerning the appointment of the Director and the staff of the 
Institute; (b) provides independent advice on operation of the 
Institute; and (c) receives reports from the Interagency Group and the 
Institute's Director.
    The National Institute for Literacy Advisory Board meeting on 
September 8-10, 2003, will focus on future and current program 
activities, reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act, and other 
relevant literacy activities and issues. On September 8, 2003 from 4:15 
p.m. to 6 p.m., the meeting will be closed to the public to discuss 
personnel issues. This discussion relates to the internal personnel 
rules and practices of the Institute and is likely to disclose 
information of personal nature where disclosure would constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of personnel privacy. The discussion may 
therefore be held in closed session under exemptions 2 and 6 of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6). A summary 
of the activities at the closed session and related matters that are 
informative to the public and consistent with the policy of 5 U.S.C. 
552b will be available to the public within 14 days of the meeting.
