SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of meeting is provided in

discussions of basic and advanced research and associated 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; alternative approaches to 
technology acquisition that could be implemented within the Department 
of the Navy's acquisition system; and, initiatives required to produce 
a militarily effective Naval electromagnetic (EM) gun system. These 
briefings and discussions will contain proprietary information and 
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 proprietary, 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 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. section 552b(c)(1) and (4).

    Dated: June 27, 2003.
