AGENCY: Notice of Establishment.

SUMMARY: The Senior Advisory Board on National Security is being 
established in consonance with the public interest and in accordance 
with the provisions of Pub. L. 92-463, the ``Federal Advisory Committee 
Act,'' Title 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2.
    This Senior Advisory Board will serve as a sounding board and 
visionary resource for the National Security Study Group. This Study 
Group will conduct a comprehensive review of the early 21st Century 
global security environment; develop a comprehensive overview of 
American strategic interests and objectives for this probable security 
environment; delineate a national security strategy appropriate to that 
environment and the nation's character; identify a range of 
alternatives to implement this national security strategy; and develop 
a detailed plan to implement the range of alternatives by describing 
the sequence of measures necessary to attain national security 
strategy, to include recommending concomitant changes to the national 
security apparatus as necessary.
    The Senior Advisory Board on National Security will consist of two 
co-chairs and 10-12 other individuals who are accomplished and 
prominent United States citizens and reflect a cross-section of 
American public and private sector life. The co-chairs shall submit 
three unclassified reports to the Secretary of Defense. The Board and 
Study Group will be terminated not later than 30 days after the co-
chairs submit the final report to the Secretary of Defense, no later 
than March 15, 2001.
