capabilities and approaches for achieving early indications and warning 
of terrorist capabilities and intentions, providing effective 
operational and tactical intelligence in support of crisis operations 
against terrorists, and the capability for attribution of attackers, 
should a terrorist event occur. The Task Force will also consider 
promising new capabilities facilitated by recent changes in statutes 
(e.g., Combating Terrorism Act of 2001).

Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board Task Force meetings concern 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, these 
meetings will be closed to the public.
