    The Advisory Committee on Labor Diplomacy (ACLD) will hold a 
meeting from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on December 14, 1999, in Room 1105, US 
Department of State, 2201 C Street, NW, Washington, DC 20520. Committee 
Chairman Thomas Donahue, former President of the AFL-CIO, will chair 
the meeting.
    The ACLD is comprised of prominent persons with expertise in the 
area of international labor policy and labor diplomacy. The ACLD will 
advise the Secretary of State and the President on the resources and 
policies necessary to implement labor diplomacy programs efficiently, 
effectively and in a manner that ensures US leadership before the 
international community in promoting the objectives and ideals of US 
labor policies now and in the 21st century. The ACLD will make 
recommendations on how to strengthen the Department of State's ability 
to respond to the many challenges facing the United States and the 
federal government in international labor matters. These challenges 
include the protection of worker rights, the elimination of 
exploitative child labor, and the prevention of abusive working 
conditions.
    The agenda for the December 14 meeting includes discussion of
