Sec. 9343. Cadets: appointment; to bring to full strength

    If it is determined that, upon the admission of a new class to the 
Academy, the number of cadets at the Academy will be below the 
authorized number, the Secretary of the Air Force may fill the vacancies 
by nominating additional cadets from qualified candidates designated as 
alternates and from other qualified candidates who competed for 
nomination and are recommended and found qualified by the Academy Board. 
At least three-fourths of those nominated under this section shall be 
selected from qualified alternates nominated by the persons named in 
clauses (2) through (8) of section 9342(a) of this title, and the 
remainder from qualified candidates holding competitive nominations 
under any other provision of law. An appointment under this section is 
an additional appointment and is not in place of an appointment 
otherwise authorized by law.
