(1)the position such individual holds shall be subject to chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 of title 5, United States Code; ####
(2)such individual shall be appointed to such position without competitive examination; and ####
(3)such position shall be considered to be in the competitive service so long as the individual continues to hold that position; except that any such individual who meets the eligibility requirements for the Senior Executive Service and who elects to join that Service shall be converted by the Secretary to the Senior Executive Service in the appropriate rate of basic pay established under section 5382 of title 5, United States Code. ###
(b)In the case of individuals in the Foreign Service in the United States Information Agency who immediately before the date of enactment of this Act are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Agency and the exclusive representative of those individuals, the 3-year period referred to in subsection
(a)shall begin on July 1, 1981. ###
(c)The three-year period referred to in subsection
(a)shall be extended for an additional period not to exceed one year from the date of enactment of this section in the case of Department of State security officers who are members of the Service and who were initially ineligible for conversion under that subsection because they were available for worldwide assignment and there was a need for their services in the Service, but as to whom subsequent events require the services of these members (and of those later employed who are similarly situated) only or primarily for domestic functions.
