Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology. The subject 
area is: DoD Responses to Transnational Threats. The period of study is 
anticipated to culminate in the formulation of specific recommendations 
to be submitted to the Secretary of Defense, via the Under Secretary of

determining resource policies, short- and long-range plans, and in 
shaping appropriate implementing actions as they may affect the U.S. 
national defense posture.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, P.L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II, (1988)), it has 
been determined that this DSB meeting concerns matters listed in 5 
U.S.C. Sec. 552b(c)(1) (1988), and that accordingly this meeting will 
be closed to the public.
