Sec. 287n. Representatives in General Conference; number;
citizenship; compensation
The President by and with the consent of the Senate shall designate
from time to time to attend a specified session or specified sessions of
the General Conference of the Organization not to exceed five
representatives of the United States and such number of alternates not
to exceed five as he may determine consistent with the rules of
procedure of the General Conference: Provided, however, That each such
representative and each such alternate must be an American citizen. One
of the representatives shall be designated as the senior representative.
Such representatives and alternates shall each be entitled to receive
compensation at such rates provided for members of the Senior Foreign
Service under section 3962 of this title, or provided for Foreign
Service officers under section 3963 of this title, as the President may
determine, for such periods as the President may specify, except that no
Member of the Senate or House of Representatives or officer of the
United States who is designated under this section as a representative
of the United States or as an alternate to attend any specified session
or specified sessions of the General Conference shall be entitled to
receive such compensation. Whenever a representative of the United
States is elected by the General Conference to serve on the Executive
Board, or is elected President of the General Conference and thus
becomes an ex officio adviser to the Executive Board, under provision of
article V of the constitution of the Organization, the President may
extend the above provisions for compensation to such representative
during periods of service in connection with the Executive Board.
