the Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102–

government employees. Board members,
with the approval of the Secretary of
Defense, may serve a term of service on

authority to make decisions on behalf of
the chartered Board; nor can any

appointed in the same manner as the
Board members; that is, the Secretary of
Defense shall appoint subcommittee
members even if the member in
question is already a Board member.
Subcommittee members, with the
approval of the Secretary of Defense,
may serve a term of service on the
