their employment. The data on these 

measures will be collected by the

to establish a baseline.

governing the granting of academic 

degrees by Federal agencies (approved 

by a letter from the Director, Bureau of 

the Budget, to the Secretary, Health, 

Education, and Welfare, dated 

December 23, 1954), the Secretary is 

required to establish a review committee 

to advise the Secretary concerning any 

legislation that may be proposed that 

would authorize the granting of degrees 

by a Federal agency. The review 

committee forwards its recommendation 

concerning a Federal agency’s proposed 

degree-granting authority to the 

Secretary, who then forwards the 

committee’s recommendation and the 

Secretary’s recommendation to the 

Office of Management and Budget for 

review and transmittal to the Congress. 

The Secretary uses the Advisory 

Committee as the review committee 

required for this purpose. Accordingly, 

the Advisory Committee will review the 

following institution at this meeting:
