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, November 17, 2004, and Thursday,
November 18, 2004, 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. This meeting will consist of briefings and
discussions involving classified matters of national security,
including classified briefings from representatives of agencies within
the Intelligence Community; Commission discussions based upon the
content of classified intelligence documents the Commission has
received from agencies within the Intelligence Community; and
presentations concerning the United States' intelligence capabilities
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 November 17-18 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, November 17, 2004 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Thursday,
November 18, 2004. (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
