   15         2.a. Any information held by the Chief of Domestic Security
   16  and any information in the notification by the Chief of Domestic
   17  Security to the Governor and Cabinet which would reveal
   18  information critical to state or national security is exempt
   19  from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
   20  Constitution.
   21         b. Any portion of a meeting which would reveal information
