preparing primary care practitioners to care for underserved high-risk 
groups and vulnerable populations.
    Agenda: The meeting on Thursday, September 28, will begin with 
opening comments from the Chair of the Advisory Committee and 
introductory remarks from senior management of the Health Resources and 
Services Administration. A plenary session will follow in which there 
will be a brief review of six papers commissioned for the Advisory 
Committee's sixth report. The Advisory Committee will develop a 
definition of ``vulnerability'' for the report. In both small groups 
and in the plenary session, the Advisory Committee will determine 
recommendations for the report. There will be an annual election for 
chair and two vice chairs. An opportunity will be provided for public 
comment.
    On Friday, September 29, the Advisory Committee will discuss in the 
plenary session how the commissioned papers will be used in the sixth 
report, determine an initial outline for the report, and discuss how 
grantee data will be incorporated. Small groups will draft a report 
abstract, expand the report's outline, and determine commentary to 
accompany grantee data. Grantee anecdotal information will also be 
considered for the report. The Advisory Committee will plan next steps 
in the report preparation process. An opportunity will be provided for 
public comment.
