first, discussing with the General Accounting Office its recent report 
detailing problems with the IFA and, subsequently, considering 
approaches to revising the assessment.
    The Commission will also meet in task forces during its Friday 
afternoon session to consider specific questions in its statutory 
mandate. On both Friday and Saturday, the Commission will hold sessions 
devoted to general policy discussion.
