Defense Trade Advisory Group; Closed Meeting

The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) will meet beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, November 6, 1998, in Room C-3116 at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, 4000 Arlington Blvd., Arlington, VA. The membership of this advisory committee consists of private sector defense trade specialists appointed by the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs who advise the Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues affecting defense trade.

This meeting will focus on establishing future work programs in view of recent specific arms transfer issues and cases. It will involve discussions of classified information pursuant to Executive Order 12356. The disclosure of classified and/or propriety information essential to formulating U.S. defense trade policies would substantially undermine U.S. defense trade relations with foreign competitors. Therefore, this meeting will be closed to the public, pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
