submitted 56 years ago by Pub. L. 91-278 to r/title-14-COAST-GUARD · 210 words · no verdicts yet
This section limits foreign-national instruction at the Coast Guard Academy, sets a maximum number, requires reimbursement unless waived, and denies a Coast Guard appointment based solely on graduation.
(a) A foreign national may receive Academy instruction only as this section allows. (b) The President may designate no more than 36 foreign nationals whom the Secretary* may allow to receive instruction. (c) A foreign national receives the same pay, allowances, and other benefits as a cadet appointed under section 1922, paid from the same appropriations. The person’s country must first agree to reimburse the United States, at the Secretary’s rate, for the instruction’s cost, including pay, allowances, and benefits, unless the Secretary waives that requirement for the country. The Secretary credits received funds to the appropriations that paid the cost, and may apportion them between fiscal years. (d) Graduation does not entitle the foreign national to a Coast Guard appointment. The person must follow Academy rules on admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, unless the Secretary prescribes otherwise.
A foreign national may not receive instruction at the Academy except as authorized by this section.
The President may designate not more than 36 foreign nationals whom the Secretary* may permit to receive instruction at the Academy.
A foreign national receiving instruction under this section is entitled to the same pay, allowances, and emoluments, to be paid from the same appropriations, as a cadet appointed pursuant to section 1922 of this title. A foreign national may receive instruction under this section only if his country agrees in advance to reimburse the United States, at a rate determined by the Secretary, for the cost of providing such instruction, including pay, allowances, and emoluments, unless a waiver therefrom has been granted to that country by the Secretary. Funds received by the Secretary for this purpose shall be credited to the appropriations bearing the cost thereof, and may be apportioned between fiscal years.
A foreign national receiving instruction under this section is—
not entitled to any appointment in the Coast Guard by reason of his graduation from the Academy; and
subject to those regulations applicable to the Academy governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, except as may otherwise be prescribed by the Secretary.
