The U. S. Department of Labor is extending to Oct. 15 its

positions do not need to reapply.
The advisory council is bipartisan with 15 members

the pension area. The council submits policy recommendations on administration
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and advises the
secretary on implementing the recommendations.
Nominations are being accepted for five vacancies
representing employee organizations (multiple plans), accounting, insurance,
employers and the general public (pensioners). The terms of five current
members expire Nov. 14.
Members must be qualified to appraise ERISA programs and
serve terms of office for three years.
Interested persons or organizations may nominate qualified
persons for membership. Recommendations must be by letter, resolution or
petition and signed by the person or representative of the organization making
the recommendation. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation or
position, telephone number and address. The nomination also should briefly
describe the candidate's qualifications, the group or field the candidate would
represent, political affiliation and availability.
Nominations should be submitted by Oct. 15 to Sharon
Morrissey, acting executive secretary, ERISA Advisory Council, Frances Perkins
Building, U. S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., N. W., Suite
