Notice of Partially Closed Meeting of the U.S. Naval Academy 
Board of Visitors

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors will meet to make 
such inquiry, as the Board shall deem necessary into the state of 
morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, 
fiscal affairs, and academic methods of the Naval Academy. The meeting 
will include discussions of personnel issues at the Naval Academy, the 
disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of 
personal privacy. The executive session of this meeting will be closed 
to the public.

DATES: The open session of the meeting will be held on Monday, 
September 22, 2008, from 8 a.m. to 10:55 a.m. The closed Executive 
Session will be held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in Russell Senate Office Building 
Room 385, Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Andrew B. Koy, USN, 
Executive Secretary to the Board of Visitors, Office of the 
Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 21402-5000, 
telephone: 410-293-1503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of meeting is provided per the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The 
executive session of the meeting will consist of discussions of 
personnel issues at the Naval Academy and internal Board of Visitors 
matters. The proposed closed session from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. will 
include a discussion of new and pending courts-martial and state 
criminal proceedings involving the Midshipmen attending the Naval 
Academy to include an update on the pending/ongoing sexual assault 
cases, rape cases, etc.
    The proposed closed session from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. will include a 
discussion of new and pending administrative/minor disciplinary 
infractions and nonjudicial punishments involving the Midshipmen 
attending the Naval Academy to include but not limited to individual 
honor/conduct violations within the Brigade. Discussion of such 
information cannot be adequately segregated from other topics, which 
precludes opening the executive session of this meeting to the public.
    Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing 
that the meeting shall be partially closed to the public because it 
will be concerned with matters listed in section 552b(c) (5), (6), and 
(7) of title 5, United States Code.

    Dated: August 27, 2008.
T. M. Cruz,
Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, 
Federal Register Liaison Officer.
