In the future,, as minutes of'the Interagency Committee
created by the new labeling law become available, we will provide
summaries for your information. I thought it advisable, hc:urever,
to provide the full text herewith of the first meeting minutes so
that you and your colLeagues would have an opportunity to see the
character of this new operation.
On the first pwge a, the "National Advisory Committee"
inscription was placed on the minutas to help avoid misidentifica-
tion of the statutory InteragEncy Committee. A non-governmental
group with the same name has existed for many years.
