    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 discussions during the meeting 
will necessarily involve consideration of matters recognized as not
