SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee is chartered by the Attorney 
General, and co-chaired by the Attorney General and the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services (the Secretary), to provide the Attorney 
General and the Secretary with practical and general policy advice 
concerning implementation of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, 
the Violence Against Women Act of 2000, and related laws. The Committee 
also assists in the efforts of the Department of Justice and the 
Department of Health and Human Services to combat violence against 
women, especially domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. 
Because violence against women is increasingly recognized as a public 
health problem of staggering human cost, the Committee brings national 
attention to the problem to increase public awareness of the need for 
prevention and enhanced victim services.
    This meeting will primarily focus on the Committee's work; there 
will, however, be an opportunity for public comment on the Committee's 
role in providing general policy guidance on implementation of the 
Violence Against Women Act of 1994, the Violence Against Women Act of 
2000, and related laws.
    Schedule: This meeting will be held on December 7, 2004, from 8:30 
a.m. until 4 p.m., and will include breaks and a working lunch. The 
meeting will begin with consideration of the draft report prepared by 
the drafting subcommittee of the Committee. Time will be reserved for 
public comment beginning at 11:30 a.m. and ending at 12 p.m. See the 
section below for information on reserving time for public comment.
