Defense Trade Advisory Group; Closed Meeting

    The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) will meet beginning at 8:30 
a.m. on Friday, November 6, 1998, in Room C-3116 at the National 
Foreign Affairs Training Center, 4000 Arlington Blvd., Arlington, VA. 
The membership of this advisory committee consists of private sector 
defense trade specialists appointed by the Assistant Secretary of State 
for Political-Military Affairs who advise the Department on policies, 
regulations, and technical issues affecting defense trade.
    This meeting will focus on establishing future work programs in 
view of recent specific arms transfer issues and cases. It will involve 
discussions of classified information pursuant to Executive Order 
12356. The disclosure of classified and/or propriety information 
essential to formulating U.S. defense trade policies would 
substantially undermine U.S. defense trade relations with foreign 
competitors. Therefore, this meeting will be closed to the public, 
pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
