SUMMARY: On June 20, 1995, the DOE announced its intent to review and 
hold public meetings on its Fundamental Review of Classification 
Policy. In that Notice, DOE tentatively planned the meeting for late 
August, 1995, at a location to be determined. Today's notice is 
announcing the time and location of a meeting to discuss the 
Department's Classification Policy.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held on July 28, 1995, at the 
DOE Operations Office, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, 94612-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Respondents to the prior Notice who 
requested an opportunity to participate in DOE's Fundamental Review of 
Classification Policy will be contacted regarding the July 28 meeting. 
Other interested parties who now wish to present issues for 
consideration during the Fundamental Review or suggest topics for 
potential declassification should contact Mr. Gibson at the phone 
number or address given above. Although advance registration of 
speakers will facilitate planning for the meeting, advance registration 
is not required. Speakers not registered in advance will be 
accommodated to the extent possible. To accommodate as many speakers as 
possible, a time limit for speakers may be imposed.
    On March 16, 1995, the Secretary of Energy initiated a year-long 
review of the Department's classification policies. The review is being 
chaired by Dr. Albert Narath, President of Sandia Corporation. It will 
examine all areas of classified information falling under the purview 
of the Department of Energy. Its purpose is to identify which 
information continues to require protection in support of the common 
defense and security in light of the end of the Cold War, and which 
information no longer requires such protection. As part of this 
endeavor, the public is invited to submit written comments on any 
aspect of the Department's classification policies for consideration by 
the Fundamental Review panel. The Fundamental Review is scheduled to be 
completed in March, 1996.
Roger K. Heusser,
Deputy Director, Office of Declassification, Office of Security 
Affairs.
