SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United 
States (ACUS) is charged with developing recommendations for the 
improvement of Federal administrative procedures (5 U.S.C. 591).
    The Conference has engaged a Professor of Law at Washington 
University in St. Louis School of Law, Kathleen Clark, to research and 
prepare a report regarding whether ethics regulations analogous to 
those applicable to government employees should apply to government 
contractors and, if so, how such regulations should be imposed (the 
``Ethics Report''). A copy of the Ethics Report is available at http://www.acus.gov. The Committee on Administration met on November 3, 2010 
to discuss the Ethics Report and the broader issue of whether and how 
the regulations applicable to government contractors and their 
employees should be expanded.
    From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on December 9, 2010, the committee will 
discuss a draft recommendation based on the Ethics Report and on the 
discussion from the first meeting. A copy of the draft recommendation 
will be made available at http://www.acus.gov prior to the December 9, 
2010 meeting. This meeting will be open to the public and may end prior 
to 11 a.m. if business is concluded prior to that time. Members of the 
public are invited to attend the meeting in person, subject to space 
limitations, and the Conference will also provide remote public access 
to the meeting.
    Anyone who wishes to attend the meeting in person is asked to RSVP 
to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3a795557575f544e497a5b594f49145d554c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="72311d1f1f171c060132131107015c151d04">[email protected]</span></a>. Remote access information will be posted on the

6, 2010 and will also be available by the same date by calling the

Committee's meeting may be permitted to speak only at the discretion of
