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.
