SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Critical Homeland
Installation Protection will meet in closed sessions on October 4-5,
2004; and October 28-29, 2004, at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite
500, Arlington, VA. The Task Force will assess best practices for
protecting U.S. homeland installations and recommend various approaches
to enhancing security and protection of these facilities.
    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 Task Force will assess investments in technology and
manpower in order to ensure proper security levels at our nation's
high-value installations with particular emphasis on airports, harbors,
nuclear power facilities and military bases. To that end, the Task
Force will review existing best practices in force protection and
security at civil, industrial and military complexes; assess shortfalls
and deficiencies associated with operational security; identify
promising technology and/or processes that will enhance security; and
recommend methods for reducing overall manpower requirements without
relinquishing robust security measures.
    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, the
meetings will be closed to the public.
