approximately one hour with the President on September 26, 2023, which 
must take place at the scheduling convenience of the President and to 
maintain Secret Service protection. This meeting will be closed to the

kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy under 
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).
    This notice is being published less than 15 days prior to the 
meeting due to scheduling difficulties.
