AGENCY: Department of Defense, Task Force on Defense Reform.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Task Force on Defense Reform will meet in closed sessions 
on July 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, and 31, 1997.
    The task force was recently established to make recommendations to 
the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of Defense on 
alternatives for organizational reforms, reductions in management 
overhead, and streamlined business practices in the Department of 
Defense (DoD), with emphasis on the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 
the Defense Agencies and the DoD Field Activities, and the Military 
Departments.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended, 5 U.S.C., Appendix II, it has been 
determined that matters affecting national security, as covered by 5 
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)(1988), will be presented throughout the meetings, and 
that, ccordingly, these meetings will be closed to the public.
    This notice is less than the customary 15 days for the meetings on 
July 1 and 3, 1997, since it is critical that the task force meet as 
soon as possible to meet the priority objectives of the Secretary of 
Defense and to ensure that findings and recommendations are cognizant 
of and coordinated with the Quadrennial Defense Review process and the 
proceedings of the National Defense Panel.

    Dated: June 24, 1997.
L.M. Bynum,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
