Determination To Close Meeting of the Scientific and Policy Advisory
Committee
The Scientific and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) will hold a
meeting in Washington, D.C., on April 26, 1995. The Arms Control and
Disarmament Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. sec. 2566) provides for the
SPAC to advise the President, the Secretary of State, and the
Director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency respecting
scientific, technical, and policy matters affecting arms control,
nonproliferation, and disarmament.
The entire agenda of this meeting will be devoted to specific
national security policy and arms control issues. In accordance with
section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-
463), it has been determined that discussion during the meeting will
necessarily involve consideration of matters recognized as not
subject to public disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). Materials to
be discussed at the meeting have been properly classified and are
specifically authorized under criteria established by Executive
Order 12356 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, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), I have
determined that, because of the need to protect the confidentiality
of such national security matters, this meeting should be closed to
the public.
John D. Holum,
Director.
