Establishment of the Deterrence Concepts Advisory Group

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of establishment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Deterrence Concepts Advisory Group is being established in 
accordance with the provisions of the Public Law 92-463, the ``Federal 
Advisory Committee Act,'' Title 5 U.S.C., Appendix 2.
    The Deterrence Concepts Advisory Group is established to provide 
advice and recommendations to advance the U.S. position as a strong, 
secure and persuasive force for freedom and progress in the world, and 
to do so at the lowest nuclear force level consistent with security 
requirements.
    The Panel will be composed of no more than 10 members selected on 
the basis of their expertise in the fields of nuclear deterrence and 
security. In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App II 1982, it 
has been determined that the committee meetings concern matters listed 
in 5 U.S.C. 552B(c)(1), and that accordingly the meetings will be 
closed to the public.
    Notice of the establishment of this new committee is being 
published in less than the 15 days, due to the urgent need to convene 
this committee so that its advice on a matter of extraordinary 
importance may be provided to the Secretary of Defense in a timely 
manner. A waiver of the 15 day notice requirement for establishment of 
a new committee has been approved.

of Defense for Policy, (703) 697-0286.
