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.
