SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Electronic Education Fairs for 
China and India are part of a joint initiative between the U.S. 
Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of State. The purpose of 
the initiative is to inform Chinese and Indian students who are 
interested in studying outside of their home countries about the 
breadth and depth of the higher education opportunities available in 
the United States. The initiative utilizes a three-pronged multimedia 
approach through the Internet, on-ground activities, and television, 
including two, twenty-three minute TV programs and a series of short, 
1-2 minute programs airing on local cable and national satellite TV 
stations throughout China and India. All programming directs viewers to 
the corresponding Internet landing page. DVDs distributed through 
education trade fairs and EducationUSA advising centers throughout 
China and India will further this message.
    Accredited U.S. educational institutions are invited to sponsor the 
China and India Internet landing pages.
