SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission was authorized on December

(Secretary) on the implementation of a general management plan for the

the management and development of the historic site.
    The Commission is composed of 15 members appointed by the Secretary 
for 4-year terms, as follows: (1) Three members selected from 
recommendations submitted by the National Council of Negro Women, Inc.; 
(2) two members selected from recommendations submitted by other

while away from their homes or regular places of business in the
