Sec. 933. Advisory Committee


(a) Appointment and number of members; factors in selection

    The United States Section shall appoint an advisory committee for 
each of the Great Lakes, upon which committee each State bordering on 
the lake may be represented by not more than four members. In making 
such appointments, the United States Section shall make its selection 
for each State from a list proposed by the Governor of that State; and 
shall give due consideration to the interests of--
        (1) State agencies having jurisdiction over fisheries;
        (2) the commercial fishing industry of the lake;
        (3) the sports fishing of the lake; and
        (4) the public at large.

(b) Membership on other committees

    A member of the advisory committee for one lake may also be a member 
of the advisory committee for one or more other lakes.

(c) Compensation

    The members of the advisory committee shall receive no compensation 
from the Government of the United States for their services as such 
members. Not more than five members of all the committees, designated by 
the committees and approved by the United States Section, may be paid by 
the Government of the United States for transportation expenses and per 
diem incident to attendance at each meeting of the Commission or of the 
United States Section.

(d) Meetings

    The members of the advisory committee for each lake shall be invited 
to attend all nonexecutive meetings of the United States Section 
relating to that lake and at such meetings shall be granted opportunity 
to examine and be heard on all proposed recommendations, programs, and 
activities relating to that lake.
