and analysis of issues including landmine policy, space policy, 
verification and compliance, and organizational issues relating to the 
integration of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency into the 
Department of State. The Board continues work in these areas, as well 
as other aspects of arms control and nonproliferation.
    Members of the Board provide a wide range of scientific and policy 
backgrounds and opinion, while in all cases reflecting extensive 
experience in arms control and/or nonproliferation.
    Because of the sensitive national security material with which the 
Board deals, its meetings are generally held in closed sessions. 
However, public notice of the time and place of all meetings is 
provided, and the Board is open to any public comment that is submitted 
to it.
Robert Sherman,
Executive Director, Secretary of State's, Arms Control and
