The President appoints up to five U.S. representatives and five alternates to UNESCO's General Conference. All must be American citizens, and the Senate must confirm them. They're paid at Foreign Service rates, except lawmakers and federal officers get no extra pay.

With the Senate's consent, the President names, from time to time, up to five U.S. representatives — and up to five alternates — to attend one or more sessions of the Organization's General Conference, following that Conference's own procedural rules. Every representative and alternate must be an American citizen. One representative is designated the senior representative. Each representative and alternate is paid at rates set for members of the Senior Foreign Service under section 3962, or for Foreign Service officers under section 3963, whichever the President chooses, for whatever period the President specifies — except a Member of Congress or other U.S. officer named as a representative or alternate gets no such pay. If a U.S. representative is elected by the General Conference to the Executive Board, or elected President of the General Conference (which makes that person an ex officio adviser to the Executive Board) under Article V of the Organization's constitution, the President may extend this pay to that representative during their Executive Board service too.

The President by and with the consent of the Senate shall designate from time to time to attend a specified session or specified sessions of the General Conference of the Organization not to exceed five representatives of the United States and such number of alternates not to exceed five as he may determine consistent with the rules of procedure of the General Conference: Provided, however, That each such representative and each such alternate must be an American citizen. One of the representatives shall be designated as the senior representative. Such representatives and alternates shall each be entitled to receive compensation at such rates provided for members of the Senior Foreign Service under section 3962 of this title, or provided for Foreign Service officers under section 3963 of this title, as the President may determine, for such periods as the President may specify, except that no Member of the Senate or House of Representatives or officer of the United States who is designated under this section as a representative of the United States or as an alternate to attend any specified session or specified sessions of the General Conference shall be entitled to receive such compensation. Whenever a representative of the United States is elected by the General Conference to serve on the Executive Board, or is elected President of the General Conference and thus becomes an ex officio adviser to the Executive Board, under provision of article V of the constitution of the Organization, the President may extend the above provisions for compensation to such representative during periods of service in connection with the Executive Board.
