Matters to be Considered: The Board of Directors (the ``Board'') of the 
Millennium Challenge Corporation (``MCC'') intends to hold a quarterly 
meeting of the Board to: Initiate the FY 2005 country selection process 
by identifying countries that will be candidates for Millennium 
Challenge Account (``MCA'') assistance in FY 2005 based on the per 
capita income and other requirements of Section 606(a) of the 
Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-199 (Division D)) (the 
``Act'') and considering the FY 2005 selection criteria and methodology 
that will be used to determine which of these candidate countries will 
be eligible for MCA assistance under the requirements of Section 607 of 
the Act; and discuss and take action on certain administrative and 
personnel-related matters. The majority of the meeting will be devoted 
to a discussion of the FY 2005 country selection process, including a 
discussion of the candidate countries and the selection criteria and 
methodology, which is likely to involve the discussion of classified 
information related to U.S. foreign policy and will be closed to the 
public. Any personnel-related matters would also be conducted during 
this session. A brief open session relating to certain administrative 
matters and an update for the Board on MCC operations will precede the 
closed session.
    Due to the quorum requirement in Section 604(c)(6) of the Act, an 
official meeting of the Board will require the presence of at least one 
Board member nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate 
pursuant to Section 604(c)(3)(B) of the Act. If at least one of these 
members has not been confirmed by the Senate and formally appointed by 
the President as of the time of the meeting, the Board will not be in a 
position to take official Board action and the meeting may be 
cancelled. In the event of cancellation, MCC will notify the MCA 
mailing list and post a notice of cancellation on the MCC Web site 
(www.mcc.gov) at least 24 hours prior to the Board meeting. Interested 
members of the public may join the MCA mailing list on the MCC Web site 
at http://www.mcc.gov/contact_maillist.html.
    Due to security requirements at the meeting location, all 
individuals wishing to attend the open portion of the meeting must

intention to attend the meeting by noon on Friday, July 17, 2004, and

of State, including providing the necessary information to obtain any
