Any request to make an oral presentation should state the amount of time desired, the capacity in which the person would appear, and a brief outline of the content of the presentation. Individuals with disabilities who need special accommodations should contact Theresa Barry (phone: 202-219- 8615, extension 106; FAX: 202-219-5986) one week before the meeting.
