AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public 
Law 96-463, notice is hereby given that the Independent Review Panel to 
Study the Relationships between Military Department General Counsels 
and Judge Advocates General will hold an open meeting at the Hilton 
Crystal City, 2399 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22202, 
on August 12, 2005, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
    Purpose: The Panel will meet on August 12, 2005, from 8:30 a.m. to 
11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., to conduct deliberations concerning 
the relationships between the legal elements of their respective 
Military Departments. These sessions will be open to the public, 
subject to the availability of space. The Panel has held seven public 
hearings and has provided the public oppportunities to address the 
Panel both person and in writing. The Panel has also deliberated in 
several sessions open to the public, including deliberations on an 
initial draft of a final report prepared by the Panel's staff. The 
Panel must complete its report during August so that Congress may 
consider it during this legislative session as envisioned in section 
574 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2005. Due to this exceptional circumstance, the Panel 
decided to hold its final deliberation session, open to the public, on 
August 12. This decision, based on that exceptional circumstance, was 
made on July 28, thus making it impossible for the Department to 
provide the 15 calendar days notice normally required for Panel 
meetings.

DATES: August 12, 2005: 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m., and 1 p.m.-4 p.m.
    Location: Hilton Crystal City, 2399 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Arlington, Virginia 22202.
