Surety; Notice

SUMMARY: The Joint Advisory Committee on Nuclear Weapons Surety 
(JACNWS) has been renewed in consonance with the public interest, and 
in accordance with the provisions of Public Law 92-463, the ``Federal 
Advisory Committee Act.''
    The JACNWS provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of 
Defense and the Secretary of Energy on nuclear weapons systems surety 
matters. The committee undertakes studies and prepares reports on 
national policies and procedures to ensure the safe handling,

acclaimed experts in nuclear weapons surety measures. Efforts will be 
made to ensure that there is a fairly balanced membership in terms of 
the functions to be performed and the interest groups represented.
