SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Unexploded Ordnance 
(UXO) will meet in closed session on April 22-23, 2003, and May 13-14, 
2003, at SAIC Inc., 4001 N. Fairfax Street, Arlington, VA. This Task 
Force will review modern technology that can be exploited or developed

    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology & Logistics on Scientific and Technical matters as they 
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At these 
meetings, the Defense Science Board Task Force will review and evaluate 
the Department's ability to exploit modern technology to reduce the 
extremely high cost of UXO clean up and improve its effectiveness for 
both contaminated land and water ranges and help accomplish the job in 
a reasonable time; and science and technologies that can be developed 
to support and sustain continued live fire training and testing of 
munitions at ranges across the United States with an acceptable 
environmental impact.
    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), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board Task Force meetings concern 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(b)(1) and that, accordingly, these 
meetings will be closed to the public.


    Dated: February 12, 2003.
