information related to the DPB's mission to advise on: (a) Issues 
central to strategic DoD planning; (b) policy implications of U.S.

    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 
41 CFR 102-3.155, the Department of Defense has determined that this 
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 Title 5, United 
States Code, Section Sec.  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.
