Naval Research Advisory Committee; Closed Meeting

    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 

[[Page 48973]]
meet on October 11 and 12, 1995. The session on October 11 will be held 
at the Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia; the session on October 12 will be 
held at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Bethesda, 
Maryland. The meeting will commence at 9:00 a.m. and terminate at 5:00 
p.m. on October 11 and 12, 1995. All sessions of the meeting will be 
closed to the public.

    The purpose of the meeting 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 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 meeting.
    Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing 
that the public interest requires that all sessions of the meeting 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.

    For further information concerning these meetings contact: Ms. 
Diane Mason-Muir, Office of Naval Research, Ballston Center Tower One, 
800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22217-5660, Telephone Number: 
(703) 696-4870.
