Sunshine Act Meeting; Determination to Close Meetings of the 
Director's Advisory Committee

January 9, 1998.
    The Director's Advisory Committee (DirAC) will hold meetings in 
Washington, D.C. on January 26-27 and April 6-7, 1998, and in Los 
Alamos, New Mexico on March 2, 1998.
    The entire agenda of these meetings will be devoted to specific 
national security policy and arms control issues. In accordance with 
section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law No. 92-
463, 86 Stat 770 (1972) (codified at 5 U.S.C. App. 2510(a)(1)(1996)), 
it has been determined that discussions during the meetings are likely 
to disclose matters covered under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).

Materials to be discussed at the meetings have been properly classified 
and are specifically authorized under criteria established by Executive 
Order 12958, 60 FR 19,825 (1995), to be kept secret in the interests of 
national defense and foreign policy.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, Public Law No. 92-463, 86 Stat 770 (1972) (codified at 5 
U.S.C. App. 2 510(a)(1)(1996)), I have determined that, because of the 
need to protect the secrecy of such national security matters, the 
meetings should be closed to the public.
    This notice is being published less than 15 days before the first 
meeting day, in order to enable more Committee members to attend.
John D. Holum,
Acting Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International 
Security Affairs and Director, U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament 
Agency.
