SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is established under section 242 
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998,

[[Page 23891]]

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 that administers the Institute. The Interagency Group 
is composed of the Secretaries of Education, Labor, and Health and 
Human Services. 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 will meet May 
19-20, 2005. On May 19, 2005, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and May 20, 
2005, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Board will meet in open session to 
discuss the Institute's program priorities; strengthening interagency 
coordination, and status of on-going work; and other Board business as 
necessary. On May 20, 2005, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., the Board meeting 
will meet in closed session in order 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 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: April 26, 2005.
Sandra L. Baxter,
Interim Director.
