information related to the DPB's mission to advise on: (a) Issues 
central to strategic DoD planning; (b) policy implications of U.S. 
force structure and force modernization and on DoD's ability to execute 
U.S. defense strategy; (c) U.S. regional defense policies; and (d)

of the meeting on October 3, the DPB will have secret through top 
secret (SCI) level discussions on national security issues regarding 
Iran, including Internal Political Dynamics and Security Posture and 
Capabilities.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 
41 CFR 102-3.155, the Department of Defense has determined that the 
meeting shall be closed to the public. The Under Secretary of Defense 
(Policy), in consultation with the Department of Defense FACA Attorney, 
has determined in writing that this meeting be closed to the public 
because the discussions fall under the purview of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 
and are so inextricably intertwined with unclassified material that 
they cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without 
disclosing secret or classified material.
