Sec. 3343. Details; to international organizations

    (a) For the purpose of this section--
        (1) ``agency'', ``employee'', and ``international organization'' 
    have the meanings given them by section 3581 of this title; and
        (2) ``detail'' means the assignment or loan of an employee to an 
    international organization without a change of position from the 
    agency by which he is employed to an international organization.

    (b) The head of an agency may detail, for a period of not more than 
5 years, an employee of his agency to an international organization 
which requests services, except that under special circumstances, where 
the President determines it to be in the national interest, he may 
extend the 5-year period for up to an additional 3 years.
    (c) An employee detailed under subsection (b) of this section is 
deemed, for the purpose of preserving his allowances, privileges, 
rights, seniority, and other benefits, an employee of the agency from 
which detailed, and he is entitled to pay, allowances, and benefits from 
funds available to that agency. The authorization and payment of these 
allowances and other benefits from appropriations available therefor is 
deemed to comply with section 5536 of this title.
    (d) Details may be made under subsection (b) of this section--
        (1) without reimbursement to the United States by the 
    international organization; or
        (2) with agreement by the international organization to 
    reimburse the United States for all or part of the pay, travel 
    expenses, and allowances payable during the detail, and the 
    reimbursement shall be credited to the appropriation, fund, or 
    account used for paying the amounts reimbursed.

    (e) An employee detailed under subsection (b) of this section may be 
paid or reimbursed by an international organization for allowances or 
expenses incurred in the performance of duties required by the detail, 
without regard to section 209 of title 18.
