of institution were adequate and determined that it should proceed to a 
full review in the subject five-year review pursuant to section 
751(c)(5) of the Act. A record of the Commissioners' votes, the 
Commission's statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's 
statements are available from the Office of the Secretary and at the 
Commission's Web site.
