hearing for members of Congress on Thursday, October 1, 1992, beginning at
10:00 A.M. at the Senate Dirksen Office Building, Room 192, in Washington, D.C.
The Commission, a panel of members from the departments of Defense, Commerce,
and Labor and the President's Council of Economic Advisers, began in June its
review of the effects on the economy caused by reduced defense spending.

     Required by Congress and established by the Secretary of Defense, the
Commission will produce a report by the end of the year, which will addition-
ally explore the potential for assisting personnel leaving the Defense Depart-
ment and companies facing reduced defense production.

     In keeping with the Commission's policy of open proceedings, the hearing
will be public and a transcript will be available as soon as it can be pro-
duced.  A list of those scheduled to testify will be made available prior to
the hearing.

     For further information on the hearing please contact Paul Hanley,
Director for Public Affairs at (202) 653-1627/1644.
