SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At the upcoming meeting, the HSAC will focus
on the future of terrorism; threat assessment for the next five years,
and creating a common culture within the Department of Homeland
Security. The HSAC will also hold deliberations and discussions among
HSAC members, including discussions regarding administrative matters.
The closed portion of the meeting will include discussions on
building a common culture at the Department as well as on the future of
terrorism and how the department should respond and prepare the public.
In those discussions various speakers from the Department and outside
will discuss the current trends in terrorism as well as how various
companies and organizations have created a common culture. Therefore
certain trade secrets are likely to be discussed as well as how the
Federal government investigates and tracks the patterns of terrorism.

register to attend the public session on a first-come, first-served
basis per the procedures that follow. Security requires that any member
of the public who wishes to attend the public session provide his or

19, 2006, to Kezia Williams or an Executive Staff Member of the HSAC

Basis for Closure: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 1
et seq.), I have determined that portions of this HSAC meeting will be
closed. At the closed portions of the meeting the committee will be
addressing specific security and infrastructure vulnerabilities, and
these discussions are likely to include: trade secrets and commercial
or financial information that is privileged or confidential;
investigative techniques and procedures; and matters that for which
disclosure would likely frustrate significantly the implementation of
proposed agency actions. Accordingly, I have determined that these
portions of the meeting must be closed as consistent with the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), (7)(E), and (9)(B).
Dated: June 5, 2006.
Michael Chertoff,
Secretary.
