technical examination of information related to GPS vulnerabilities;
the Department of the Navy's mitigation plans for platforms, weapons,

readiness and precision navigation capabilities. All sessions of the
meeting will be closed to the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of meeting is provided in
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. App. 2). All sessions of the meeting will be devoted to
discussions involving technical examination of information related to
vulnerabilities and deficiencies of the GPS on Navy and Marine Corps
platforms and weapons systems. These discussions will contain
classified information that is specifically authorized under criteria
established by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of
national defense and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such
Executive Order. The classified and non-classified matters to be
discussed are so inextricably intertwined as to preclude opening any
portion of the meeting. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. App. 2, section
10(d), the Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing that the
public interest requires that all sessions of the meeting be closed to
the public because they will be concerned with matters listed in 5
U.S.C. section 552b(c)(1). Due to unavoidable delay in administrative
processing, the normal 15 days notice could not be provided.
Dated: October 7, 1998.
Ralph W. Corey,
Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Federal Register
Liaison Officer.
