possible modifications to those options, and (3) to determine which
options should be forwarded by the Senior Review Committee for
consideration by the Secretary and Director. In addition to these
formal agenda items, the Committee will hear from members of the
public. Due to the complexity of the topics to be reviewed and the
length of the meeting, the following tentative schedule is nominally
established: On Monday, October 20, and Tuesday, October 21, the SRC
will hear presentations on and deliberate the options. On Tuesday,
October 21, the SRC will hear from members of the public who have
requested time to make oral presentations. On Wednesday, October 22,
the SRC will continue its deliberations on all of the options presented
and determine which options should be forwarded by the Senior Review
Committee for consideration by the Secretary and Director.
