SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Managed Information 
Dissemination Follow-On Initiative will meet in closed session on April 
11-12, 2001, at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA.
    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology & Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they 
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At this 
meeting, the Defense Science Board Task Force will review the need and 
feasibility of a coordinated information dissemination capability 
within the U.S. Government encompassing tactical, operational, and 
strategic information. Specifically, they will investigate detailed 
actionable recommendations with respect to enabling ``channels'' and 
establishing appropriate ``brand identity''; DoD's role in a U.S. 
strategic information dissemination capability; policy, legal, and 
economic issues hindering U.S. capabilities; and identify new and 
emerging technologies capable of enhancing U.S. capabilities.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that this Defense Science Board meeting, concerns matters 
listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), and that accordingly this meeting will 
be closed to the public.
    Due to critical mission requirements and scheduling difficulties, 
there is insufficient time to provide timely notice required by section 
10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and Subsection 101-
6.1015(b) of the GSA Final Rule on Federal Advisory Committee 
Management, 41 CFR Part 101-6, which further requires publication at 
least 15 calendar days prior to this meeting.
