the first instance fifty of the principal national voluntary
organizations, each of which shall be invited to designate one
representative for appointment to the National Commission. Thereafter,
the National Commission shall periodically review and, if deemed
advisable, revise the list of such organizations designating
representatives in order to achieve a desirable rotation among
organizations represented. To constitute the initial Commission, one-
third of the members shall be appointed to serve for a term of one year,
one-third for a term of two years, and one-third or the remainder
thereof for a term of three years; from thence on following, all members
shall be appointed for a term of three years each, but no member shall
serve more than two consecutive terms. The National Commission shall
meet at least once annually. The National Commission shall designate
from among its members an executive committee, and may designate such
other committees as may prove necessary, to consult with the Department
of State and to perform such other functions as the National Commission
shall delegate to them. No member of the National Commission shall be
allowed any salary or other compensation for services: Provided,
however, That he may be paid transportation and other expenses as
authorized by section 5703 of title 5. The Department of State is
authorized to provide the necessary secretariat for the Commission.
