Naval Research Advisory Committee; Closed Meeting

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 on CVX Flexibility will meet on May 14-16, 
1997. The meeting will be held at the Office of Naval Research, 800 
North Quincy Street, Arlington, Virginia, and the Naval Sea Systems 
Command Headquarters, 2531 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA. The 
meeting will commence at 8:30 a.m. and terminate at 4 p.m. on May 14 
and May 15; and commence at 8:30 a.m. and terminate at 12:30 p.m. on 
May 16, 1997. All sessions of the meeting will be closed to the public.
    The purpose of the meeting is to identify for the Department of the 
Navy the science and technology opportunities that have the potential 
for major impact on operational flexibility over the lifetime of new 
Navy ship classes now under consideration. The agenda will include 
briefings and discussions related to the requirements and concepts for 
CVX roles, missions, capabilities and configurations; potential 
technical limitations to CVX operational flexibility over the lifetime 
of the class; specific science and technology initiatives, such as 
integrated electric power and electric drive, to address such 
limitations; and the applicability of such initiatives to other current 
and new Navy ship classes. These briefings and demonstrations will 
contain classified and proprietary 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. The classified 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 (4) of title 5, United States 
Code.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS MEETING CONTACT: Ms. Diane 
Mason-Muir, Office of Naval Research, Naval Research Advisory 
Committee, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22217-5660, Telephone
