enough information for the committee to act. New information may be 
introduced concerning these proposals. New proposals (initial reading) 
may be discussed at this meeting. The committee may make 
recommendations for project funding at this meeting. A field trip to 
review proposals proximate to the Wrangell, Alaska, area may take
