Defense Science Board Task Force on Patriot Anti-Cruise Missile

ACTION: Notice of advisory committee meetings.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Patriot Anti-Cruise 
Missile (PACM) will meet in closed session on February 1, 2000, at 
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), 4001 North 
Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA.
    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology and Logistics and Director, Ballistic Missile Defense 
Organization on programmatic and technical matters as they affect the 
perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At this meeting, the Task 
Force will review and compile recommendations for the Secretary of 
Defense on how to best respond to the Congressional directive to assess 
the capability of the PACM to counter cruise missiles, including low-
observable cruise missiles, compared to the capability of the Patriot 
PAC-3 missile and other upgraded versions of the Patriot missile to 
counter such threats, and the opportunity costs of PACM acquisition.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II, (1994)), it has been 
determined that this DSB Task Force meeting concerns matters listed in 
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) (1994), and that accordingly this meeting will be 
closed to the public.
