22 U.S.C. § 2390: Terms of detail or…

Summary

Allows U.S. officers or employees to be assigned under sections 2387, 2388, or 1928 in four ways. They can serve with no payment from the foreign government or international organization; serve when that government or organization agrees to repay all or part of the employee’s pay, travel, benefits, and allowances (repayments, including foreign currency, are put back into the account used to pay those costs); serve after an advance of funds, property, or services approved by the President and kept in a separate Treasury account for those uses, with unused balances returned; or serve when the United States gets a credit against its share of the international organization’s expenses based on the employee’s pay and costs under section 2389.
