EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

 
Office of Administration; Notice of Meeting of the Commission on 
the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of 
Mass Destruction

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United 
States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (``Commission'') will meet 
in closed session on Wednesday, March 30, 2005, and Thursday, March 31, 
2005, in its offices in Arlington, Virginia.
    Executive Order 13328 established the Commission for the purpose of 
assessing whether the Intelligence Community is sufficiently 
authorized, organized, equipped, trained, and resourced to identify and 
warn in a timely manner of, and to support the United States 
Government's efforts to respond to, the development of Weapons of Mass 
Destruction, related means of delivery, and other related threats of 
the 21st Century. The March 30-31 meeting is expected to include 
Commission discussions about classified documents, and presentations 
from Commission staff that are based upon classified information. While 
the Commission does not concede that it is subject to the requirements 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 United States Code 
Appendix 2, it has been determined that the March 30-31, 2005, meeting 
would fall within the scope of exceptions (c)(1) and (c)(9)(B) of the 
Sunshine Act, 5 United States Code, Sections 552b(c)(1) & (c)(9)(B), 
and thus could be closed to the public if FACA did apply to the 
Commission.

DATES: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), and Thursday, 
March 31, 2005. (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
