Samenvatting

The Cultural Property Advisory Committee will meet on Wednesday, February 28, 1996, from approximately 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Thursday, February 29, 1996, from approximately 8 a.m. to 12 noon, at USIA headquarters, 301 4th Street SW., Washington, DC. The agenda will include deliberation of a cultural property request from the Government of Nicaragua to the United States Government seeking protection of certain pre-Hispanic archaeological resources. This request, submitted under Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO Convention, will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., P.L. 97- 446). The Committee will also review and discuss internal operating procedures. Since discussion of these matters will involve information the premature disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed actions, this portion of the meeting will be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) and 19 U.S.C. 2605(h).
