    Notes:  The Senate Committees on Military Affairs; on the Militia; 
and Naval Affairs were established on December 10, 1816. The Committee 
on the Militia was merged with the Committee on Military Affairs in 1858 
to form the Military Affairs and Militia Committee. However, in 1872 the 
Committee dropped ``Militia'' from its name. The Military Affairs and 
Naval Affairs Committees existed until 1947 when they were combined by 
the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 into a new standing 
committee, the current Committee on Armed Services.

    Senator Bill Nelson of Florida served on the Committee during the 
112th Congress from January 5, 2011 until February 3, 2011.
    Senator Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico served on the Committee during

    1. Regular Meeting Day.--The Committee shall meet at least once a

Ranking Minority Member, may call such additional meetings as he deems

open to the public, except that a meeting or series of meetings by the 
Committee or a subcommittee thereof on the same subject for a period of 
no more than fourteen (14) calendar days may be closed to the public on 
a motion made and seconded to go into closed session to discuss only 
whether the matters enumerated below in clauses (a) through (f) would 
require the meeting to be closed, followed immediately by a record vote 
in open session by a majority of the members of the Committee or 
subcommittee when it is determined that the matters to be discussed or 
the testimony to be taken at such meeting or meetings--

        (a) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret in the

        (c) will tend to charge an individual with a crime or

    or obloquy or will represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the 
    privacy of an individual;

        (d) will disclose the identity of any informer or law

    to be kept secret in the interests of effective law enforcement;

        (e) will disclose information relating to the trade secrets or

          (2) the information has been obtained by the Government on a 
              confidential basis, other than through an application by 
              such person for a specific Government financial or other 
               benefit, and is required to be kept secret in order to 
              prevent undue injury to the competitive position of such 
                                     person; or

        (f) may divulge matters required to be kept confidential under 
    other provisions of law or Government regulations.

    5. Presiding Officer--The Chairman shall preside at all meetings and 
hearings of the Committee except that in his absence the Ranking
