App. 2), notice is hereby given that the Naval Research Advisory Committee Panel on CVX Flexibility will meet on May 14-16, 1997. The meeting will be held at the Office of Naval Research, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, Virginia, and the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters, 2531 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA. The meeting will commence at 8:30 a.m. and terminate at 4 p.m. on May 14 and May 15; and commence at 8:30 a.m. and terminate at 12:30 p.m. on May 16, 1997. All sessions of the meeting will be closed to the public. The purpose of the meeting is to identify for the Department of the Navy the science and technology opportunities that have the potential for major impact on operational flexibility over the lifetime of new Navy ship classes now under consideration. The agenda will include briefings and discussions related to the requirements and concepts for CVX roles, missions, capabilities and configurations; potential technical limitations to CVX operational flexibility over the lifetime of the class; specific science and technology initiatives, such as integrated electric power and electric drive, to address such limitations; and the applicability of such initiatives to other current and new Navy ship classes. These briefings and demonstrations will contain classified and proprietary information that is specifically authorized under criteria established by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order. The classified and non- classified matters to be discussed are so inextricably intertwined as to preclude opening any portion of the meeting. Accordingly, the Under Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing that the public interest requires that all sessions of the meeting be closed to the public because they will be concerned with matters listed in section 552b(c) (1) and (4) of title 5, United States Code. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS MEETING CONTACT: Ms. Diane Mason-Muir, Office of Naval Research, Naval Research Advisory Committee, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22217-5660, Telephone Number: (703) 696-6769.
