ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee Meeting.

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Management Oversight 
of Acquisition Organizations will meet in open session on January 31-
February 1, 2005, at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA. This 
Task Force should assess whether all major acquisition organizations 
within the Department have adequate management and oversight processes, 
including what changes might be necessary to implement such processes 
where needed.
    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 examine the 
oversight function with respect to Title 10 and military department 
regulations to ensure that proper checks and balances exist. The Task 
Force will review whether simplification of the acquisition structure 
could improve both efficiency and oversight.
