committee whose statutory authority will expire on December 31, 2004. 
The Chiropractic Advisory Committee has been operational since 2002, 
has held its final meeting and has submitted its final report to the 
Secretary.
    The Advisory Committee on Chiropractic Care Implementation will 
review critical issues that affect program implementation, recommend 
program enhancements and provide guidance on long range planning. The 
Committee will include members of the chiropractic care profession and 
such other members as the Secretary considers appropriate.
    The Advisory Committee on Chiropractic Care Implementation will 
meet periodically through 2005 and will be terminated no later than 
December 31, 2005.

    Dated: December 6, 2004.

    By Direction of the Secretary.
