Establishment of the Secretary of Defense Task Force on Defense 
Reform

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Defense Task Force on Defense Reform (the 
Task Force) is being established in consonance with the public 
interest, and in accordance with the provisions of Pub. L. 92-463, the 
``Federal Advisory Committee Act,'' Title 5 U.S.C., Appendix 2.
    The Task Force will advise and make recommendations to the 
Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of Defense on alternatives 
for improving the organization and procedures of the Department of 
Defense, particularly the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the 
Defense Agencies and the DoD Field Activities. Emphasis will be given 
to the potential for expanded use of enterprise-wide business 
procedures, especially in the areas of acquisition, logistics, 
installation operations, and property management. It is anticipated 
that the Task Force will conclude its activities and submit a final 
report by November 1, 1997.
    The Task Force will consist of a balanced membership of 
approximately six noted defense experts from outside the federal 
government with varied experience and diverse interests, appointed by 
the Secretary of Defense.
