SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is established under section 242 
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Pub.L. 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 
January 25-26, 2007. On January 25, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and 
January 26, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., the Board will meet in open 
session to discuss the Institute's future and current program 
priorities; status of on-going Institute work; other relevant literacy 
activities and issues; and other Board business as necessary.
    On January 26, 2007 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.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, including consideration of the Director's performance. The 
discussion 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.
    The National Institute for Literacy Advisory Board meeting on 
January 25-26, 2007, will focus on future and current program 
activities, and other relevant literacy activities and issues.
    Records are kept of all Advisory Board proceedings and are
