SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The committee meeting is being held under
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C.,

U.S.C. 552b, as amended), 41 CFR 102-3.140(c), and 41 CFR 102-3.150.
Purpose of the Meeting: The Board of Visitors for the Western
Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation is a non-discretionary
Federal Advisory Committee chartered to provide the Secretary of
Defense, through the Secretary of the Army, independent advice and
recommendations on matters pertaining to the curriculum, instruction,
physical equipment, fiscal affairs, and academic methods of the
institute; other matters relating to the institute that the board
decides to consider; and other items that the Secretary of Defense
determines appropriate. The board reviews curriculum to determine
whether it adheres to current U.S. doctrine, complies with applicable
U.S. laws and regulations, and is consistent with U.S. policy goals
toward Latin America and the Caribbean. The board also determines
whether the instruction under the curriculum of the institute
appropriately emphasizes human rights, the rule of law, due process,
civilian control of the military, and the role of the military in a
democratic society. The Secretary of Defense may act on the committee's
advice and recommendations.
Agenda: Update on the Human Rights and Democracy Program; Women
Peace and Security Panel; Review of the WHINSEC Strategy and
Implementation Plan; Briefs from the Department of State, U.S. Northern
Command, U.S. Southern Command, and the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine
Command; a public comments period; and presentation of other
information appropriate to the board's interests.
