SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of a closed meeting is provided

(5 U.S.C. App. 2). All sessions of the meeting will be devoted to

detection systems, consolidation of manpower, threat detection,

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 an 
unavoidable delay in administrative processing, the 15-day advance 
notice could not be provided.
