Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41
CFR 102-3.155, it is hereby determined that the November 14-15 meeting
of the Board will include classified information and other matters
covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, portions of the
meeting will be closed to the public. This determination is based on
the consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout the
closed portions will involve classified matters of national security.
Such classified material is so intertwined with the unclassified
material that it cannot reasonably be segregated into separate
discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of these
portions of the meeting. To permit these portions of the meeting to be
open to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would
greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the Board's findings and
recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of
Defense. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 41 CFR 102-3.140, the
portions of the meeting on November 14 from 11:25 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
and from 1:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. and on November 15, 2023 from 9 a.m. to
11:35 a.m. are open to the public virtually. Persons desiring to attend
the public sessions are required to register. To attend the public
