## Sec. 401 Salaries of Chiefs of Mission **[**[22 U.S.C. 3961](/us/usc/t22/s3961)**]** ###
(a)Except as provided in section 302(b), each chief of mission shall receive a salary, as determined by the President, at one of the annual rates payable for levels II through V of the Executive Schedule under sections 5313 through 5316 of title 5, United States Code, except that the total compensation, exclusive of danger pay, for any chief of mission shall be subject to the limitation on certain payments under section 5307 of title 5, United States Code, or the limitation under section 402(a)(3), whichever is higher6. 6Section 412(c) of title IV of division B of Public Law 108–447 provides as follows:
(c)Section 401(a) of such Act (22 U.S.C. 3961(a)) is amended by striking “shall not exceed the annual rate of pay payable for level I of such Executive Schedule” and inserting “shall be subject to the limitation on certain payments under section 5307 of title 5, United States Code, or the limitation under section 402(a)(3), whichever is higher”. The amendment probably should not have included the words “of pay” in the matter purported be struck, but was executed here to reflect the probable intent of Congress. ###
(b)The salary of a chief of mission shall commence upon the effective date of appointment to that position. The official services of a chief of mission are not terminated by the appointment of a successor, but shall continue for such additional period, not to exceed 50 days after relinquishment of charge of the mission, as the Secretary of State may determine. During that period, the Secretary of State may require the chief of mission to perform such functions as the Secretary of State deems necessary in the interest of the Government.
