Notice of Closed Meeting of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) 
Executive Panel

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The CNO Executive Panel will report on the findings and 
recommendations of the Subcommittee ``The Navy & The Nation'' to the 
Chief of Naval Operations. The matters to be discussed during the 
meeting are: Campbell-Ewald Advertising contract, Branding project, and 
marketing & recruiting methods; CNO's Engagement and long-range 
schedule. Each topic under each of these headings relates solely to the 
internal personnel rules and practices of the agency; discloses 
privileged/confidential trade secrets, commercial, and financial 
information; pertains to the CNO's classified ``SECRET'' long-range 
schedule, and discusses information the premature disclosure of which 
would be likely to significantly frustrate the fair bidding process for 
a major DON contract which makes this information exempt from open 
meeting disclosure pursuant to 5 U.S.C. sections 552b(c)(1) and (4).

DATES: The meeting will be held on December 15, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 11

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), these matters 
constitute classified information that is specifically authorized by 
Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense 
and is, in fact, properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order.
    Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing 
that the public interest requires that all sessions of this meeting be
