SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institute for Literacy Advisory 
Board is authorized by section 242 of the Workforce Investment Act of 
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 interview candidates for the 
position of Director. The discussion is likely to disclose information 
of a 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

552b will be available to the public within 14 days of the meeting.
