DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice No. 2360]


Defense Trade Advisory Group; Renewal of Charter and Notice of 
Upcoming Partially Closed Meeting

    The updated Charter of the Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) has 
been renewed for a two-year period. The Charter was revised for 
clarification.
    The DTAG will meet beginning at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, May 16, 
1996 in the Loy Henderson Conference Room, U.S. Department of State, 
2201 C Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20520. This advisory committee 
consists of private sector defense trade specialists who advise the 
Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues affecting 
defense trade.
    The DTAG will first meet in open session. The open session will 
include a speaker from the Department of Defense, as well as reports on 
DTAG Working Group progress, accomplishments, and future projects. 
Members of the public may attend the open session as seating capacity 
allows, and will be permitted to participate in the discussion in 
accordance with the Chairman's instructions.
    As access to the Department of State is controlled, persons wishing 
to attend the meeting must notify the DTAG Executive Secretariat by COB 
Monday, May 6, 1996. If you notify the DTAG Secretariat after this 
date, the DTAG Secretariat cannot guarantee that State's Bureau of 
Diplomatic Security can complete the necessary background checks 
necessary for you to attend the May 16 plenary.
    Each person should provide his/her name, company or organizational 
affiliation, date of birth, and social security number to the DTAG 
Secretariat at telephone number (202) 647-4231 or fax number (202) 647-
4232 (Attention: Unita Williams). A list will be made up for Diplomatic 
Security and the Reception Desk at the C-Street diplomatic entrance. 
Attendees must carry a valid photo ID with them. They should enter the 
building through the C-Street diplomatic entrance (22nd and C Streets, 
N.W.), where Department personnel will direct them to the Loy Henderson 
auditorium.
    Following the open portion of the meeting, briefings that the 
Department of State will arrange for DTAG members will involve 
discussions of classified and/or proprietary information pursuant to 
Executive Order 12958. The disclosure of classified and/or proprietary 
information essential to formulating U.S. defense trade policies would 
substantially undermine U.S. defense trade relations with foreign 
competitors. Therefore, these segments of the meeting will be closed to 
the public, pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. Appendix and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), and 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(9)(B).

U.S. Department of State, Office of Arms Transfer and Export Control 
Policy (PM/ATEC), Room 2422 Main State, Washington, D.C. 20520-2422. 
She may be reached at telephone number (202) 647-0137 or fax number 
(202) 647-4232.

    Dated: March 8, 1996.
