SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of closed meeting is provided in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. App. 2). All sessions of the meeting will be devoted to 
discussions regarding basic and advanced research and associated 
science and technology opportunities with respect to concepts and 
science and technology (S&T) initiatives, including those in the space, 
atmospheric, surface and subsurface environments, required to achieve 
the visions of FORCEnet and Sea Power 21. These discussions will 
contain classified information that is specifically authorized under 
criteria established by Executive Order to be kept secret in the 
interest of National Defense and are in fact properly classified 
pursuant to such Executive Order. The classified and non-classified 
matters to be discussed are so inextricably intertwined as to preclude 
opening any portion of the meeting. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. App. 2, 
section 10(d), the Under Secretary of the Navy has 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. 552b(c)(1). Due to an unavoidable delay in 
administrative processing, the normal 15 days notice could not be 
provided.

    Dated: May 7, 2003.
E.F. McDonnell,
Major, U.S. Marine Corps, Federal Register Liaison Officer.
