ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Strategic Advisory Group
(SAG) met in closed session on March
23, 2006. The mission of the SAG is to
provide timely advice on scientific,
technical, intelligence, and policyrelated issues to the Commander, U.S.
Strategic Command, during the
development of the Nation’s strategic
war plans. Full development of the
topics will require discussion of
information classified in accordance
with Executive order 12958, dated April
17, 1995. Access to this information
must be strictly limited to personnel
having requisite security clearances and
specific need-to-know. Unauthorized
disclosure of the information to be
discussed at the SAG meeting could
have exceptionally grave impact upon
national defense.
In accordance with Section 10(d) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. App. 2), it has been determined
that this SAG meeting concerns matters
listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), and that,
accordingly, this meeting will be closed
to the public. This notice was not
published within the 15-day timeframe
because of a recent determination that
this meeting is deliberative in nature.
