SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Humanities Panel is a Federal advisory 
committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 2 (Pub. L. 92-463, 86. Stat. 770). The 
purpose and objective of the Humanities Panel is to advise the National 
Council on the Humanities and the Chairman of the NEH concerning 
policies, programs, and procedures of the Endowment as requested. The 
Humanities Panel furthermore makes recommendations on applications for 
financial support submitted to NEH.
    Members of the Humanities Panel are selected on the basis of their 
subject matter expertise in a humanities discipline or on the basis of 
their experience in a humanities institution, or both, in order to 
ensure that all applications are reviewed under the highest standards 
of excellence in the humanities. The NEH selects panelists from a broad 
range of humanities disciplines (including languages, literature, 
history, jurisprudence, philosophy, archaeology, comparative religion, 
ethics, and the history, criticism, and theory of the arts). Panelists 
also are selected from a wide range of humanities institutions 
(including colleges, universities, archives, libraries, museums and 
historical societies). By statute, the Humanities Panel is also 
required to have broad geographic and culturally diverse 
representation.
