SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Advisory Council was 
established in 1976, at the direction of the Congress, to advise the 
Federal Reserve Board on the exercise of its duties under the Consumer 
Credit Protection Act and on other consumer-related matters. The 
Council by law represents the interests both of consumers and of the 
financial community (15 USC 1691(b)). Under the Rules of Organization 
and Procedure of the Consumer Advisory Council (12 CFR 267.3), members 
serve three-year terms that are staggered to provide the Council with 
continuity.
    New members will be selected for terms beginning January 1, 1997, 
to replace members whose terms expire this year.  Nomination letters 
should include information about past and present positions held by the 
nominee; a description of special knowledge, interests or experience 
related to community reinvestment, consumer credit, or other consumer 
financial services; and the nominee's address and telephone number. 
Individuals may nominate themselves.
    The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity 
with community reinvestment or consumer financial services and who are 
willing to express their viewpoints. Candidates do not have to be 
experts on all levels of community reinvestment or consumer financial 
services, but they should possess some basic knowledge of the area. 
They must be able and willing to make the necessary time commitment to 
prepare for and attend meetings (usually for two days, including 
committee meetings) three times a year.
    In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the 
background of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation and 
geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of women 
and minority groups. The Board expects to announce its selection of new 
members by year-end.
