ACTION: Notice of closed meetings.

SUMMARY: The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) will meet to hold 
classified briefs of proprietary information. All sessions of the 
meetings will be devoted to briefings, discussions, and technical 
examination of information related to the relationship of science and 
technology to modular systems acquisitions, system engineering, open 
architectures and spiral development and to make recommendations for 
improving these relationships where appropriate. The sessions will also 
identify and analyze cost effective and technically feasible high 
speed, high capacity connectors to close a Marine Expeditionary Brigade 
from the continental U.S. to a sea base and operate forces from the sea 
base to objectives ashore.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is provided in accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2). 
All sessions of the meetings will be devoted to executive sessions that 
will include discussions and technical examination of information 
related to sea basing technologies. 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 
meetings. 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 meetings 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: July 6, 2004.
J.T. Baltimore,
Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, 
Alternate Federal Register Liaison Officer.
