the FACA Final Rule, the DoD has determined that this meeting shall be
closed to the public. The Under Secretary of Defense (Policy), in
consultation with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that
this meeting be closed to the public because the discussions fall under
the purview of Section 552b(c)(1) of the Sunshine Act and are so
inextricably intertwined with unclassified material that they cannot
reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without disclosing
secret or higher classified material.
