  DESCRIPTION  The series consists of summaries of GAC meetings 
               prepared by the Committee  Secretary. It contains 
               minutes and related records that document the 
               GAC's involvement in administrative and policy 
               matters relating to basic research, reactor 
               development, weapons development and testing, 
               research performed by Atomic Energy  Commission 
               national and other laboratories, special nuclear 
               materials production  programs, test ban and 
               disarmament negotiations, and the hydrogen bomb 
               decision  and program. Because the General 
               Advisory Committee rarely considered biomedical  
               topics, the series contains little, if anything, 
               directly pertinent to human radiation  
               experiments. The series contains meeting minutes, 
               agendas, letter reports of meetings, and some 
               special subcommittee reports. Collection number E 
               70. 
 
  RESTRICTIONS  This series contains classified information.
