exceed the maximum rate or be less than the minimum rate of basic pay
payable for the Senior Executive Service under section 5382 of title 5,
and shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as rates
of basic pay are adjusted for the Senior Executive Service.
(2) The Secretary shall determine which of the basic salary rates
prescribed by the President under paragraph (1) for any salary class
shall be paid to each member of the Senior Foreign Service who is
appointed to that class. The Secretary may adjust the basic salary rate
of a member of the Senior Foreign Service not more than once during any
12-month period.
(b) Career appointees in Senior Executive Service accepting limited
appointment in Senior Foreign Service; adjustment
(1) An individual who is a career appointee in the Senior Executive
Service receiving basic pay at one of the rates payable under section
5382 of title 5 and who accepts a limited appointment in the Senior
Foreign Service in a salary class for which the basic salary rate is
less than such basic rate of pay, shall be paid a salary at his or her
former basic rate of pay (with adjustments as provided in paragraph (2))
until the salary for his or her salary class in the Senior Foreign
Service equals or exceeds the salary payable to such individual under
this subsection.
(2) The salary paid to an individual under this subsection shall be
adjusted by 50 percent of each adjustment, which takes effect after the
appointment of such individual to the Senior Foreign Service, in the
basic rate of pay at which that individual was paid under section 5382
of title 5 immediately prior to such appointment.
