level or higher. On Thursday, September 29, Designated Federal Officer 
William Hostyn will make his remarks, and then the TRAC Chair, 
Ambassador Ronald Lehman, will open the meeting with comments that 
outline the topics to be covered in the two-day meeting. Following the 
opening remarks, the TRAC will hear from the Principal Deputy, 
Performing the Duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, Dr. Arthur Hopkins 
on updates regarding Unified Command Plan changes and the implications 
for the DoD mission of CWMD. Following Dr. Hopkins' remarks, there will 
be a classified intelligence briefing covering emerging biological 
threats relating to state and non-state actors. The TRAC will then 
receive a classified brief on ``Theories of Victory, Red and Blue'' 
from Dr. Roberts of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which will 
detail the shift from global to regional conflict as the central 
paradigm of 21st century strategic conflict and assess regional powers' 
evolving notions of how to deter U.S. power projection and the U.S. 
response. Next, the TRAC will hear from Dr. William Schneider on cross 
domain deterrence issues affecting the nuclear-armed escalatory matrix. 
The TRAC will have a working lunch and will receive a classified 
briefing from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency on biological 
detection capabilities. Following that discussion, the TRAC will 
discuss, deliberate, and finalize the findings and recommendations of 
the studies on Russian and Chinese provocations as well as CWMD in 
North Korea in preparation for the meeting on day two with the TRAC's 
sponsor, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and 
Logistics.
    The TRAC will continue the meeting on September 30, 2016. The group 
will first discuss prospective new studies and next steps for the TRAC 
in 2017-2018 based on the sponsor's guidance and direction. The TRAC 
will then receive a classified brief from Dr. Bates on emerging 
biological threats and technological proliferation issues. The TRAC 
members will review the final recommendations on Russia, China and 
North Korea over a working lunch. The TRAC will then transition to the 
Pentagon, where they will provide Under Secretary Kendall with a brief 
from the previous day's meeting on the finding and recommendations on 
Russia and China Provocations and CWMD in North Korea. At the 
conclusion of the discussion, the Chair will adjourn the 38th Plenary.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to section 10(d) of the FACA, 5 
U.S.C. 552b(c), and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that the 
meeting shall be closed to the public. The Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the 
DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that all sessions of this 
meeting are required to be closed to the public because the discussions 
will contain classified information and matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(1). Such classified matters are inextricably intertwined with 
the unclassified material and cannot reasonably be segregated into 
separate discussions without disclosing secret-level or higher 
material.
