Congress has directed the Pentagon officials to follow new, more specific guidelines on the structure of the internal board that reviews sexually explicit materials to determine whether they can be sold on military installations.

The guidelines are part of the 2009 defense authorization bill passed by both the House and Senate and awaiting President Bush’s signature.

The bill would require the board to have nine people, at least one of whom has experience managing or advocating military family programs, and who also is eligible to shop in the commissaries and exchanges.

In addition, the secretary of defense would appoint six members “to broadly represent the interests of the patron base served by the defense commissary system and the exchange system,” according to the bill.

The other three members would be appointed by the secretaries of the Army, Air Force and Navy.
