    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Ch. 10, that Cooperative

qualifications of the personnel conducting the studies; staff and 
consultant critiques of research proposals and similar documents; and 
the medical records of study subjects, the disclosure of which would 
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. 
Additionally, premature disclosure of research information to the 
public could significantly obstruct implementation of approved research 
activities. Therefore, potions of the Committee meeting will be closed 
to the public in accordance with Title 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4)(6) and 
(9)(B).
    The Committee will not accept oral comments from the public for the 
open portion of the meeting. Members of the public who wish to attend
