Ad Hoc Review Committee for the

Recombinant DNA Advisory

Committee; Notice of Meeting

Notice is hereby given of a meeting of

the Ad Hoc Review Committee for the

Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee

on March 8, 1995, at the National

Institutes of Health, Building 31C, 6th

Floor, Conference Room 8, 9000

Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland

20892, starting at approximately 9 a.m.

to adjournment at approximately 5 p.m.

The meeting will be open to the public

to discuss three major topics for review:

(1) domain and mandate of the

Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee;

(2) composition of the Recombinant

DNA Advisory Committee; and (3)

Recombinant DNA Advisory

Committee’s review of human gene

transfer protocols. Members of the

public wishing to speak at this meeting

may be given such opportunity at the

discretion of the Chair.

Bethesda, Maryland 20892–7052, Phone

will provide materials to be discussed at

this meeting, roster of committee

members, and substantive program

information. Individuals who plan to

attend and need special assistance, such

as sign language interpretation or other

reasonable accommodations, should

contact Dr. Wivel in advance of the

meeting. A summary of the meeting will

be available at a later date.

OMB’s ‘‘Mandatory Information

Requirements for Federal Assistance

Program Announcements’’ (45 FR

39592, June 11, 1980) requires a

statement concerning the official

government programs contained in the

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.

Normally NIH lists in its

announcements the number and title of

affected individual programs for the

guidance of the public. Because the

guidance in this notice covers not only

virtually every NIH program but also

essentially every Federal research

program in which DNA recombinant

molecule techniques could be used, it

has been determined not to be cost

effective or in the public interest to

attempt to list these programs. Such a

list would likely require several

additional pages. In addition, NIH could

not be certain that every Federal

program would be included as many

Federal agencies, as well as private

organizations, both national and

international, have elected to follow the

NIH Guidelines. In lieu of the individual

program listing, NIH invites readers to

direct questions to the information

address above about whether individual

programs listed in the Catalog of

Federal Domestic Assistance are

affected.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Purpose

Under section 706 of the Social

Security Act (the Act), the Secretary of

Health and Human Services (the

Secretary) appoints the Council every 4

years. The Council examines issues

affecting the Social Security Old-Age,

Survivors, and Disability Insurance

(OASDI) programs, as well as the

Medicare program and impacts on the

Medicaid program, which were created

under the Act.

In addition, the Secretary has asked

the Council specifically to address the

following:

• Social Security financing issues,

including developing recommendations

for improving the long-range financial

status of the OASDI programs;

• General program issues such as the

relative equity and adequacy of Social

Security benefits for persons at various

income levels, in various family

situations, and various age cohorts,

taking into account such factors as the

increased labor force participation of

women, lower marriage rates, increased

likelihood of divorce, and higher

poverty rates of aged women.

In addressing these topics, the

Secretary suggested that the Council

may wish to analyze the relative roles of

the public and private sectors in

providing retirement income, how

policies in both sectors affect retirement

decisions and the economic status of the

elderly, and how the disability

insurance program provisions and the

availability of health insurance and

health care costs affect such matters.

The Council is composed of 12

members in addition to the chairman:

Robert Ball, Joan Bok, Ann Combs,

Edith Fierst, Gloria Johnson, Thomas

Jones, George Kourpias, Sylvester

Schieber, Gerald Shea, Marc Twinney,

Fidel Vargas, and Carolyn Weaver. The

chairman is Edward Gramlich.

The Council met previously on June

24–25 (59 FR 30367), July 29, 1994 (59

FR 35942), September 29–30 (59 FR

47146), October 21–22 (59 FR 51451),

November 18–19 (59 FR 55272), January

27 (60 FR 3416) and February 10–11 (60

FR 5433).
