punishments involving the Midshipmen 

attending the Naval Academy to include 

but not limited to individual honor/

conduct violations within the Brigade, 

and personnel issues. The 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 the discussions during 

the executive session from 11:00 a.m. to 

12:00 p.m. will be concerned with 

matters coming under sections 552b(c) 

(5), (6), and (7) of title 5, United States 

Code.
