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 Panel to Review the Department of the Navy Science and 
Technology Program will meet on December 11, 12, and 13, 1995, at the 
Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. The meeting will commence at 
9:00 a.m. and terminate at 5:30 p.m. on December 11 and 12; and 
commence at 8:30 a.m. and terminate at 3:00 p.m. on December 13, 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 
consist of Executive Sessions devoted to writing a report of their 
findings and recommendations. The Executive Sessions will include 
discussions of previously briefed material from the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, Department of the 
Air Force, Advanced Research Projects Agency, and internal Department 
of the Navy sources. These discussions will contain (1) classified 
information that is specifically authorized under criteria established 
by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national 
defense and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive 
Order; and (2) sensitive Department of Defense information that would 
be likely to significantly frustrate proposed agency action if it is 
disclosed to the public prematurely. The classified, sensitive, and 
non-classified matters to be discussed are so inextricably intertwined 
as to preclude opening any portion of the meeting.

    Accordingly, the Under 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)(1) and (9)(B) of title 5, United 
States Code.

    This Notice is being published late because the Federal Government 
furlough caused 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.

Mason-Muir, Office of Naval Research, Naval Research Advisory 
Committee, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22217-5660, Telephone
