examine the vulnerabilities of the GPS on Navy and Marine Corps 
platforms and weapons systems. All sessions of the meeting will be 
devoted to executive sessions that will include discussions and 
technical examination of information related to GPS vulnerabilities; 
the Department of the Navy's mitigation plans for platforms, weapons, 
communications, and intelligence systems as related to the projected

readiness and precision navigation capabilities. All sessions of the 
meeting will be closed to the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of meeting is provided in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. App. 2). All sessions of the meeting will be devoted to 
discussions involving technical examination of information related to 
vulnerabilities and deficiencies of the GPS on Navy and Marine Corps 
platforms and weapons systems. These discussions will contain 
classified 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. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. App. 2, section 
10(d), the 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 5 
U.S.C. section 552b(c)(1). Due to unavoidable delay in administrative 
processing, the normal 15 days notice could not be provided.

    Dated: October 7, 1998.
Ralph W. Corey,
Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Federal Register 
Liaison Officer.
