(a)The Secretary of Defense may establish such advisory committees and employ such part-time advisers as he considers necessary for the performance of his functions and those of the agencies under his control.
(b)A person who serves as a member of a committee may not be paid for that service while holding another position or office under the United States for which he receives compensation. Other members and part-time advisers shall (except as otherwise specifically authorized by law) serve without compensation for such service.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 8; Pub. L. 89–718, § 2, Nov. 2, 1966, 80 Stat. 1115; Pub. L. 104–106, div. A, title X, § 1061(e)(1), Feb. 10, 1996, 110 Stat. 443.)
In subsection (a), the words “consistent with other provisions of sections 171–171n, 172–172j, 181–1, 181–2, 411a, 411b, and 626–626d of this title and sections 401–405 of Title 50” are omitted as surplusage. The word “establish” is substituted for the word “appoint”, since the filling of the position involved is not appointment to an office in the constitutional sense.
In subsection (b), the word “Secretary” is substituted for the words “appointing authority”.
In subsection (c), the words “as a part-time adviser” are substituted for the words “in any other part-time capacity for a department or agency” to conform to subsections
(a)and (b).
