Missiles, 36 TGM–65K2 Captive Air
Training Missiles, 3 TGM–65D
Maintenance Training Missiles, spare
and repair parts, support equipment,
tool and test equipment, personnel
training and training equipment,
publications and technical data, U.S.
Government and contractor technical
and logistics personnel services and
other related elements of program and
logistics support. The estimated cost is
$25 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a friendly
country which has been, and continues
to be, an important force for political
stability and economic progress in
Southeast Asia.
The Indonesian Air Force (IAF) needs
these missiles to train its F–16 pilots in
basic air-to-ground weapons
employment. The quantities in the
proposed sale will support the IAF’s
existing fleet of 10 F–16s, as well as the
24 F–16s being provided as Excess
Defense Articles. The proposed sale will
foster continued cooperation between
the U.S. and Indonesia, making
Indonesia a more valuable regional
partner in an important area of the
world.
The proposed sale of this equipment
will not alter the basic military balance
in the region.
The principal contractors will be
Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson,
Arizona. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of
additional U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to Indonesia.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AGM–65K MAVERICK is an
air-to-ground tactical missile designed
for close air support. The missile
hardware is Unclassified, but has an
overall classification of Secret. The
Secret aspects of the MAVERICK system
are tactics, information revealing its
vulnerability to countermeasures, and
counter-countermeasures. Manuals and
technical documents that are necessary
for operational use and organizational

classified Confidential. Performance and
operating logic of the countermeasures
circuits are Secret.
2. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures which
might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.

U.S.C. 2166(e), the Federal Advisory
Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C.
Appendix), the Government in the

and 41 CFR 102–3.50(a), the Department
of Defense gives notice that it is
reestablishing the charter for the Board
of Visitors, National Defense University
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘the Board’’).
The Board shall provide independent
advice and recommendations on the
overall management and governance of
the National Defense University in
achieving its mission.
The Board shall report to the Deputy
Secretary of Defense and Secretary of
Defense through the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President of
the National Defense University. The
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
may act upon the Board’s advice and
recommendations. The Board shall be
comprised of no more than twelve
members, who are appointed by the
Secretary of Defense. The members are
eminent authorities in the fields of
defense, management, leadership,
academia, national military strategy or
joint planning at all levels of war, joint
doctrine, joint command and control, or
joint requirements and development.
The Secretary of Defense may approve
the appointment of Board members for
one to four year terms of service, with
annual renewals; however, no member,
unless authorized by the Secretary of
Defense, may serve more than two
consecutive terms of service. This same
term of service limitation also applies to
any DoD authorized subcommittees.
Board members appointed by the
Secretary of Defense, who are not fulltime or permanent part-time federal
employees, shall be appointed to serve
as experts and consultants under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, and to serve
as special government employees. In

addition, the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff may appoint consultants,
with special expertise, to assist the
Board on an ad hoc basis, who shall be,
if approved by the Secretary of Defense,
appointed under the authority of 5
U.S.C. 3109. Neither the non-voting
observers nor the experts/consultants
shall have voting rights on the Board or
its subcommittees, shall count toward
the Board’s total membership, and shall
engage in Board deliberations.
The Department, when necessary and
consistent with the Board’s mission and
DoD policies and procedures, may

working groups to support the Board.
Establishment of subcommittees will be
based upon a written determination, to
include terms of reference, by the
Secretary of Defense, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense, or the Board’s
sponsor.
These subcommittees shall not work
independently of the chartered Board
and shall report all of their
recommendations and advice to the

the chartered Board nor can any
subcommittee or any of its members
update or report directly to the
Department of Defense or to any Federal
officers or employees.
All subcommittee members shall be
appointed in the same manner as the
Board members; that is, the Secretary of
Defense shall appoint subcommittee
members even if the member in
question is already a Board member.
Subcommittee members, with the
approval of the Secretary of Defense,
may serve a term of service on the
subcommittee of one to four years;
however, no member shall serve more
than two consecutive terms of service
on the subcommittee. Such individuals
