several important areas: Access, Title IV modernization, early 
information and needs assessment and review and analysis of 
regulations. Specifically, the Advisory Committee is to review, monitor 
and evaluate the Department of Education's progress in these areas and 
report recommended improvements to Congress and the Secretary.
