10 U.S.C. § 8743 — Employment of aliens
submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 70 words · no verdicts yet
Laws that normally block paying non-citizens don't apply when the Navy Secretary decides a person's special technical or scientific knowledge is needed. That knowledge must not be readily available from a U.S. citizen. This lets the Navy hire that person despite the general rule.
Laws that normally forbid paying compensation to someone who is not a United States citizen do not apply here. The exception is for a person whose employment by the Department of the Navy the Secretary of the Navy decides is necessary. It must be necessary so the armed forces* can get the benefit of that person's special technical or scientific knowledge or experience — knowledge or experience that is not readily available from a U.S. citizen.
Laws prohibiting payment of compensation to a person who is not a citizen of the United States do not apply to a person whose employment by the Department of the Navy is determined by the Secretary of the Navy to be necessary to obtain for the armed forces* the benefits of the special technical or scientific knowledge or experience possessed by that person and not readily obtainable from a citizen.
