DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice No. 2360]
Defense Trade Advisory Group; Renewal of Charter and Notice of
Upcoming Partially Closed Meeting
The updated Charter of the Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) has
been renewed for a two-year period. The Charter was revised for
clarification.
The DTAG will meet beginning at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, May 16,
1996 in the Loy Henderson Conference Room, U.S. Department of State,
2201 C Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20520. This advisory committee
consists of private sector defense trade specialists who advise the
Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues affecting
defense trade.
The DTAG will first meet in open session. The open session will
include a speaker from the Department of Defense, as well as reports on
DTAG Working Group progress, accomplishments, and future projects.
Members of the public may attend the open session as seating capacity
allows, and will be permitted to participate in the discussion in
accordance with the Chairman's instructions.
As access to the Department of State is controlled, persons wishing
to attend the meeting must notify the DTAG Executive Secretariat by COB
Monday, May 6, 1996. If you notify the DTAG Secretariat after this
date, the DTAG Secretariat cannot guarantee that State's Bureau of
Diplomatic Security can complete the necessary background checks
necessary for you to attend the May 16 plenary.
Each person should provide his/her name, company or organizational
affiliation, date of birth, and social security number to the DTAG
Secretariat at telephone number (202) 647-4231 or fax number (202) 647-
4232 (Attention: Unita Williams). A list will be made up for Diplomatic
Security and the Reception Desk at the C-Street diplomatic entrance.
Attendees must carry a valid photo ID with them. They should enter the
building through the C-Street diplomatic entrance (22nd and C Streets,
N.W.), where Department personnel will direct them to the Loy Henderson
auditorium.
Following the open portion of the meeting, briefings that the
Department of State will arrange for DTAG members will involve
discussions of classified and/or proprietary information pursuant to
Executive Order 12958. The disclosure of classified and/or proprietary
information essential to formulating U.S. defense trade policies would
substantially undermine U.S. defense trade relations with foreign
competitors. Therefore, these segments of the meeting will be closed to
the public, pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. Appendix and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), and 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(B).

U.S. Department of State, Office of Arms Transfer and Export Control
Policy (PM/ATEC), Room 2422 Main State, Washington, D.C. 20520-2422.
She may be reached at telephone number (202) 647-0137 or fax number
(202) 647-4232.

Military Affairs.
