consultation with the DoD Office of the
General Counsel, has determined in
writing that the meeting will be closed
to the public because it will consider
matters covered by section 552b(c)(1) of
title 5, U.S.C. The determination is
based on the consideration that it is
expected that discussions throughout
will involve classified matters of
national security concern. Such
classified material is so intertwined
with the unclassified material that it
cannot reasonably be segregated into
separate discussions without defeating
the effectiveness and meaning of the
overall meeting. To permit the meeting
to be open to the public would preclude
discussion of such matters and would
greatly diminish the ultimate utility of
the DSB’s findings and
recommendations to the Secretary of
Defense and to the DUSD(R&E).
Written Statements: In accordance
with section 1009(a)(3) of title 5, U.S.C.
and sections 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140
of title 41, CFR, interested persons may
submit a written statement for
consideration by the DSB at any time
regarding its mission or in response to

the stated agenda of a planned meeting.
Individuals submitting a written
statement must submit their statement
to the DSB DFO at the email address
provided above in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section at any
point; however, if a written statement is
not received at least three calendar days
prior to a meeting, which is the subject
of this notice, then it may not be
provided to or considered by the DSB
until a later date.

This proposed sale is consistent with
U.S. law and policy as expressed in
Public Law 96–8.
This proposed sale serves U.S.
national, economic, and security
interests by supporting the recipient’s
continuing efforts to maintain a credible

will help improve the security of the
recipient and assist in maintaining
political stability, military balance, and
economic progress in the region.
The proposed sale will contribute to
the modernization of the recipient’s
capability to meet current and future
threats as it will be able to employ a
highly reliable and effective system to
increase their warfighting effectiveness,
as needed, which can counter or deter
aggressions by demonstrated precision
against air targets. This equipment will
contribute to the recipient’s goal of
updating its military capability while
further enhancing interoperability with
the United States and other allies. The
recipient will have no difficulty
absorbing this equipment into its armed
forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Raytheon Missiles and Defense, Tucson,
