SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hawaii Advisory Committees (SAC) is a 
statutorily mandated advisory committee of the U.S. Commission on Civil 
Rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1975a. Under the charter for the SAC, the 
purpose is to provide advice and recommendations to the U.S. Commission 
on Civil Rights (Commission) on a broad range of civil rights matters 
in its respective state that pertain to alleged deprivations of voting 
rights or discrimination or denials of equal protection of the laws 
because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national 
origin, or the administration of justice. SACs also provide assistance 
to the Commission in its statutory obligation to serve as a national 
clearinghouse for civil rights information.
    The SAC consists of not more than x members, each of whom will 
serve a two-year term. Members serve as unpaid Special Government 
Employees who are reimbursed for travel and expenses. To be eligible to 
be on a SAC, applicants must be residents of Hawaii and have 
demonstrated expertise or interest in civil rights issues.
    The Commission is an independent, bipartisan agency established by 
Congress in 1957 to focus on matters of race, color, religion, sex, 
age, disability, or national origin. Its mandate is to:
     Investigate complaints from citizens that their voting 
rights are being deprived,
     Study and collect information about discrimination or 
denials of equal protection under the law,
     Appraise federal civil rights laws and policies,
     Serve as a national clearinghouse on discrimination laws,
     Submit reports and findings and recommendations to the 
President and the Congress, and
     Issue public service announcements to discourage 
discrimination.
    The Commission invites any individual who is eligible to be 
appointed a member of the Hawaii Advisory Committee covered by this 
notice to send a letter of interest and a resume to the address above.
