This Board succeeds and replaces the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency's Director's Advisory Committee, in accordance with the Arms Control and Disarmament Act, as amended (PL 105-277). The Board advises the Secretary of State on scientific and policy matters relating to arms control and nonproliferation. Operational authority for all activities of the Board, including evaluation and transmission of reports and appointment of members and staff, is delegated to the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security and Senior Adviser to the President and the Secretary of State for Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament. The previous Director's Advisory Committee did extensive investigation [[Page 32602]] 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 Nonproliferation Advisory Board. [FR Doc. 99-15455 Filed 6-14-99; 4:11 pm] BILLING CODE 4710-27-P
