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

matters. The Committee undertakes studies and prepares reports on

weapons.

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.
