FOR MEDIA Thursday, l17 1arch 1983
The Government has received many requests in the past week from
organisations and individuals wishing to participate in the
National Economic Summit.
In response to these requests the original list of invitees has
been expanded.
A number of broadly based community groups have also bEen invited
to the Summit as observers.
However, it has not been possible to include all those who have
asked to participate in the Summit because of the limited
capacity of the H1-ouse of Representatives Chamber.
Another important consideration has been the need to ensure
the Summit is small enough to allow, productive discussion.
I will be writing in the next few days to everyone who has
been in contact with the Government about the Summit to express
my thanks for their interest.
The Government will be providing other f" orums for discussion
and consultation, including the Economic Planning Advisory
Council, industry advisory councils, advisory councils to
Ministers and pre-Budget discussions.
Canberra Note: Attached is the final list of participants and observers.
