Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. Due to this exceptional circumstance, the Panel decided to hold its final deliberation session, if needed, open to the public, on August 29. This decision, based on that exceptional circumstance, was made on August 12, thus making it impossible for the Department to provide the 15 calendar days notice normally required for Panel meetings. On August 12, the Panel completed deliberations necessary for the staff to prepare a final report. If, after reviewing the final report prepared by the staff, any member of the Panel believes that additional deliberations are necessary, the meeting on August 29 will occur. If all Panel members believe that the final report prepared by the staff properly addresses all issues and no additional deliberations are necessary, there will not be a meeting on August 29. Please call the Designated Federal Official at the number listed below for additional information including whether the meeting scheduled for August 29 will be held. Dated: August 16, 2005.
