Security Policy Board

Overview
The Security Policy Board (SPB) is an advisory committee created by President Clinton in 1994 via Presidential Decision Directive 29 ("Security Policy Coordination"), in which he redesignated the Joint Security Executive Committee, established by the deputy Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), as the SPB. The SPB reported to the president through the National Security Advisor on matters of security policy. In 2001 President Bush abolished the SPB.
