Abstract	The 10th Federal Forecasters Conference provided a forum where 127 forecasters from different federal agencies and other organizations met to discuss various aspects of the conference's theme, "Forecasting in the New Millennium," that could be applied in the United States. A keynote address, "Procedures for Auditing Federal Forecasts" by J. Scott Armstrong, was followed by a panel presentation to set the stage for 2 concurrent sessions at which 24 papers were presented. These papers, or in some cases abstracts, are grouped into topics of: (1) "The North American Industry Classification System"; (2) "Economic Forecasting Issues"; (3) "Budget Forecasting for the Food Stamp Program"; (4) "New Developments in Health Manpower Forecasting"; (5) "Forecasting Agricultural Commodity Prices"; (6) "Y2K Forecasts from Denial to Doomsday"; (6) "Economic Forecasting Issues: Population and Labor Force"; (7) "Forecasting Techniques"; (8) "Compendium of Techniques"; and (9) "Forecasting the Food Component of the Consumer Price Index." Nine papers from the International Symposium on Forecasting are also included. Of these, "The National Center for Education Statistics Projections Program" by Debra E. Gerald has the most relevance for educators. Each paper contains references. (Contains 60 tables and 65 figures.) (SLD)
