SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Deep Attack Weapons 
Mix Study (DAWMS) will meet in closed session on August 13-14, 1996 at 
the Beckman Center, Irvine, California. In order for the Task Force to

    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Technology on scientific and technical matters as they affect the 
perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At this meeting the Task 
Force will develop an independent assessment of the analytic tools and 
models employed in the DoD internal DAWNS effort. Specifically, the 
Task Force will (1) assess the analysis developed in part one of the 
study, (2) evaluate the soundness of the analytic approach proposed for 
part two, and (3) review the alternatives--developed in part two to 
ensure that they are balanced and representative.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, P.L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II, (1994)), it has 
been determined that this DSB Task Force meeting concerns matters 
listed in 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552b(c)(1) (1994), and that accordingly this 
meeting will be closed to the public.
