    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary

affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At these 
meetings, the Task Force will address: the definition of ``Homeland 
Security'' and the specific roles and missions DoD will be responsible 
for accomplishing; the prioritized goals for these DoD roles and 
missions in a national security emergency; the DoD strategy and plans 
for the employment of National Guard and Reserve forces capabilities to 
participate in Homeland Security and also respond to warfighting 
demands overseas; the other primary Federal agencies and the evolving 
new Department of Homeland Security with which DoD must develop an 
integrated security strategy, planning function and operational 
capabilities and inter-agency processes that need to be put in place; 
the known and many unknown vulnerabilities to DoD force projection and 
how projections issues and responsibilities will be addressed in the 
larger context of Homeland Security; and the classes of technologies 
and systems that DoD should have the lead in developing and fielding 
which have applications for homeland security as well.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board Task Force meetings concern 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, these 
meetings will be closed to the public.
