The President regularly picks one U.S. representative, plus up to two alternates, to attend the Organization's general council sessions. If the U.S. gets elected to the Organization's executive committee, the President separately picks one representative and up to one alternate for those sessions. Representatives can be paid up to $12,000 a year and alternates up to $10,000 a year, but members of Congress or other federal officers who get picked cannot be paid this compensation.

The President must, from time to time, designate a U.S. representative, and up to two alternates, to attend a specific session or sessions of the Organization's general council. Whenever the United States is elected to the Organization's executive committee, the President must separately designate, either from among the general-council representative and alternates or from elsewhere, a U.S. representative (and up to one alternate) to attend the executive committee's sessions. Each such representative can be paid up to $12,000 per year, and each such alternate up to $10,000 per year, for whatever period the President specifies — except that no Member of the Senate or House of Representatives, and no other U.S. officer, who is designated as one of these representatives can be paid this compensation.
