publication status of the FY12 studies, the latest updates on the
ongoing study outbriefs, as well as discussion of the SAB's review of
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) science and technology
investments. The remaining FY13 Board schedule will also be discussed.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 41 CFR 102-3.155,
The Administrative Assistant of the Air Force, in consultation with the
Air Force General Counsel, has agreed that the public interest requires
