SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is established under section 242 
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Public Law 105-220 (20 U.S.C. 
9252). The Board consists of ten individuals appointed by the President 
with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Board advises and makes 
recommendations to the Interagency Group. The Interagency Group is 
composed of the Secretaries of Education, Labor, and Health and Human 
Services, and the three Secretaries administer 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 
November 18, 2004 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. will be closed to the public to 
discuss the search for a permanent Director of NIFL. 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 must 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.
    Records are kept of all Advisory Board proceedings and are 
available for public inspection at the National Institute for Literacy, 
1775 I Street, NW., Suite 730, Washington, DC 20006, from 8:30 a.m. to 
5 p.m.

    Dated: October 25, 2004.
Sandra L. Baxter,
Interim Director.
