ACTION: Notice of meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee.

The Cultural Property Advisory Committee will meet on Friday, August 6, 1999, from approximately 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Ronald Reagan Building, The Board Room, 6th Floor, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC, to review the bilateral cultural property agreements the U.S. entered into with Canada and Peru pursuant to the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., Public Law 97-446). A portion of the meeting, from approximately 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. will be open to interested parties wishing to provide comment to the Committee that may have relevance to these agreements.

The agreements, entered into with Canada on April 10, 1997, and with Peru on June 9, 1997, will be reviewed pursuant to the Act. Since review of this matter by the Committee will involve information the premature disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed action, the meeting from approximately 9 a.m. to approximately 12 Noon, and from approximately 2:30 p.m. to approximately 5 p.m. will be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) and 19 U.S.C. 2605(h). Persons wishing to attend the open portion of the meeting, must notify the Cultural Property Office at (202) 619-6612 no later than 5 p.m. (EDT) Wednesday, August 4, 1999, to arrange for admission.
