containing For Official Use Only and Law Enforcement Sensitive
information. This discussion will include information regarding threats
facing the United States and how DHS plans to address those threats.
The session is closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) because the
disclosure of this information could significantly frustrate
