SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agenda for the November 2 and 3 meetings 
will include discussions on the American Community Survey, Census 2000 
update, early evaluation results, and other census information. We are 
still finalizing the details of the meeting's agenda.
    The CACs on the American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the 
African American Population, the Asian Population, the Native Hawaiian 
and Other Pacific Islander Populations, and the Hispanic Population are 
composed of nine members each. The Secretary of Commerce appoints the 
members. The Committees provide an organized and continuing channel of 
communication between the representative communities and the Census 
Bureau. They assist the Census Bureau in its efforts to reduce the 
differential undercount for Census 2000 and advise on ways that census 
data can best be disseminated to communities and other users. They 
provide advice and recommendations for the Census Bureau to consider in 
planning the 2010 census and the American Community Survey.
    All meetings are open to the public, and a brief period will be set 
aside on November 3 for public comment and questions. Individuals with 
extensive questions or statements must submit them in writing to the 
Committee Liaison Officer, named above, at least three days before the 
meeting.
    These meetings are physically accessible to people with 
disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other 
auxiliary aids should be directed to the Committee Liaison Officer at 
least three days prior to the meeting.
