Sec. 3948. Recall and reappointment of career members
(a) Retired career members
Whenever the Secretary determines that the needs of the Service so
require, the Secretary may recall any retired career member of the
Service for active duty in the same personnel category as that member
was serving at the time of retirement. A retired career member may be
recalled under this section to any appropriate salary class or rate,
except that a retired career member of the Senior Foreign Service may
not be recalled to a salary class higher than the one in which the
member was serving at the time of retirement unless appointed to such
higher class by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate.
(b) Former career members
Former career members of the Service may be reappointed under
section 3942(a)(1) or 3943 of this title, without regard to section 3946
of this title, in a salary class which is appropriate in light of the
qualifications and experience of the individual being reappointed.
