possible representation on the Committee. Equal opportunity practices,
in line with the USDA policies, will be followed in all appointments to
the Committee. To ensure that the recommendations of the Committee have
taken into account the needs of the diverse groups served by the
Department, membership should include, to the extent practicable,
individuals with demonstrated ability to represent minorities, women,
and persons with disabilities.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 25th day of October 2018.
