 primary recommendations of the Presidential Committee on the Organization 
 and Management of Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The purpose of t
 his meeting is to provide advice and recommendations to the U.S. National 
 Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NAS
 A) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on issues within the field of a
 stronomy and astrophysics that are of mutual interest and concern to the a
 gencies. The committee will hear presentations on current programming by r
 epresentatives from NSF, NASA, DOE and other agencies relevant to astronom
 y and astrophysics; discuss current and potential areas of cooperation amo
 ng the agencies; and formulate recommendations for continued and new areas
  of cooperation and mechanisms for achieving them. The meeting will be rec
 orded for note-taking purposes only and will not be distributed.For additi
