third of the members shall be appointed to serve for a term of one year,

shall delegate to them. No member of the National Commission shall be 
allowed any salary or other compensation for services: Provided, 
however, That he may be paid transportation and other expenses as 
authorized by section 5703 of title 5. The Department of State is 
authorized to provide the necessary secretariat for the Commission.
