PART 1012--MEETINGS POLICY--MEETINGS BETWEEN AGENCY PERSONNEL AND OUTSIDE 
PARTIES--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1012.6  The news media.

    The Agency recognizes that the news media occupy a unique position 
in informing the public of the Agency's activities. The Commission 
believes that the inherently public nature of the news media allows 
their activities to be exempt from the requirements of this part 
whenever Agency meetings are held with the news media for the purpose of 
informing them about Agency activities. Such Agency meetings are not 
exempt in the event that any representative of the news media attempts 
to influence any Agency employee on a substantial interest matter.
