ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee Meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Intelligence Needs for 
Homeland Defense--Follow-On Initiative will meet in closed session on 
April 11, 2001, at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Albuquerque, NM, 
April 12-13, 2001, at Sandia National Laboratory, Albuquerque, NM. This 
Task Force will explore the intelligence ramifications posed by a 
changing spectrum of threat regimes, including biological, chemical, 
information, nuclear, and radiological weapons.
    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: consider the board 
spectrum of intelligence issues from early threat detection to 
deterrence, through response--including attribution; evaluate the 
collection and analysis of target-related information and weapon unique 
information; examine the role of HUMINT against these missions as well 
as the technology that the HUMINT collectors needs to be equipped with; 
consider strategic indications and warning and tactical warning 
dissemination and how the two need to be merged; analyze methodology to 
correlate large data flows spatially temporally and functionally (Low 
SNR); and assess the robustness of today's intelligence apparatus for 
coping with these challenges.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, P.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 these meetings will 
be closed to the public.
    Due to critical mission requirements and scheduling conflicts, 
there is insufficient time to provide timely notice required by section 
10(a)(2) of the
