SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Defense Panel was established 
on January 14, 1997 in accordance with the Military Force Structure 
Review Act of 1996, Public Law 104-201. The mission of the National 
Defense Panel is to provide the Secretary of Defense and Congress with 
an independent, non-partisan assessment of the Secretary's Quadrennial 
Defense Review and an Alternative Force Structure Analysis. This 
analysis will explore innovative ways to meet the national security 
challenges of the twenty-first century.

    The National Defense Panel will meet in closed session from 0830-
1700 on May 12 and 13, 1997. The meeting will be held at Suite 624, 
1931 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA. During the closed sessions 
the Panel will discuss the response to the Secretary of Defense's 
Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) (to include classified portions of the 
QDR). The NDP staff will provide presentations that will be used by the 
panel to formulate recommendations in the areas of the QDR required by

National Defense Panel decided that this meeting is required to 
accomplish the National Defense Panel's assigned mission.
