Naval Research Advisory Committee; Closed Meetings

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. App. 2), notice is hereby given that the Naval Research Advisory 
Committee Special Study Panel to Review the Department of the Navy 
Science and Technology Program will meet on June 19 and 20, and August 
14 and 15, 1995. The meeting on June 19 will be held at the Pentagon, 
Arlington, Virginia; the meeting on June 20 will be held at the Office 
of Naval Research, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, Virginia. The 
meeting on August 14 and 15 will be held at the Pentagon, Arlington, 
Virginia. The meeting will commence at 9 a.m. and terminate at 5 p.m. 
on June 19; commence at 9 a.m. and terminate at 3 p.m. on June 20; and 
commence at 9 a.m. and terminate at 4 p.m. on August 14 and 15, 1995. 
All sessions of the meetings will be closed to the public.
    The purpose of the meetings is to provide an assessment of the 
Department of the Navy Science and Technology Program, make 
recommendations on how to best posture the Department to be a world 
class customer of science and technology innovation, and determine 
whether the Department's execution philosophy and management structure 
allow for the most effective utilization of innovation. The agenda will 
include briefings and discussions on perspectives from internal 
Department of the Navy sources, as well as the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of the Air 
Force, the Department of the Army, and the Advanced Research Projects 
Agency. These briefings and discussions will involve sensitive 
Department of Defense information. Premature public disclosure of this 
information would be likely to significantly frustrate proposed agency 
action. The information involved is specifically authorized under 
criteria established by Executive order to be withheld from the public 
if the agency determines it to be in their best interest. The sensitive 
matters to be discussed are so inextricably intertwined as to preclude 
opening any portion of the meetings. Accordingly, the Secretary of the 
Navy has determined in writing that the public interest requires that 
all sessions of the meetings be closed to the public because they will 
be concerned with matters listed in section 552b(c)(9)(B) of title 5, 
United States Code.
    This Notice is being published late because of administrative 
delays which constitute an exceptional circumstance, not allowing 
Notice to be published in the Federal Register at least 15 days before 
the date of the meeting.
    For further information concerning these meetings contact: Ms. 
Diane Mason-Muir, Office of Naval Research, Naval Research Advisory 
Committee, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22217-5660, Telephone 
Number: (703) 696-6769.
