**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Purpose of Meeting: This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (FACA) (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102–3.150. The Committee will obtain, review and evaluate classified information related to the Committee’s mission to advise on technology security, Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (C– WMD), counter terrorism and counter proliferation.

Agenda: Beginning at 8:30 a.m., October 22, and through the end of the meeting on October 23, the committee will receive classified C–WMD briefings on WMD-Elimination, National Defense Strategy, and Nuclear Strategic Stability from the Department of Defense. The committee will also hold classified discussions on USNORTHCOM C–WMD concerns, the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, National Guard Bureau State Partnership program, Defense Support to Civil Authorities, and C–WMD Strategic Indicators and Warnings.

Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, 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 for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, in consultation with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that the public interest requires all sessions of this meeting be closed to the public because the discussions will be concerned with classified information and matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). Such classified matters are inextricably intertwined with the unclassified material and cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without disclosing secret material.
