SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institute for Literacy Advisory

1998, Public Law 105-220 (20 U.S.C. 9252). The Board consists of 10 
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 purpose of this meeting is to discuss the Director position for 
the Institute. The discussion is likely to disclose information of a 
personal nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted 
invasion of personal 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

public and consistent with the policy of 5 U.S.C. 552b will be 
available to the public within 14 days of the meeting.
