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.
