Determination To Close Meetings of the

Scientific and Policy Advisory

Committee

December 7, 1995.

The Scientific and Policy Advisory

Committee (SPAC) will hold meetings

in Washington, DC on January 3 and 4

as well as February 14, 15 and 16. 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 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 (Pub.

L. 92–463), it has been determined that

discussions during the meetings will

necessarily involve consideration of

matters recognized as not subject to

public disclosure under 5 U.S.C. sec.

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 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, the

meetings should be closed to the public.

comment was given in the Federal

Register (FTZ Docket 30–95, 60 FR

31703, 6–16–95); and,

Whereas, the Board has found that the

requirements of the FTZ Act and

Board’s regulations would be satisfied,

listed below;
