the office of ''brigadier general'' or ''colonel'', as the case may

be, even though he is entitled to the pay and allowances of that

grade.

1962 ACT

The change reflects the opinion of the Assistant General Counsel,

Civil Service Commission (GC:JHF:fz, May 4, 1959), that those parts

of section 4337 and 9337 of title 10 that relate to the salaries of

the chaplains at the United States Military Academy and the United

States Air Force Academy were superseded by the Classification Act

of 1949 (5 U.S.C. 1071 et seq.). While the positions of chaplain

at those Academies are not specifically covered by the Act, the Act

has been determined to apply to those positions in accordance with

section 203 thereof (5 U.S.C. 1083).

status'' as defined in section 551(2) of title 37, and children

of civilian employees who are in ''missing status'' as defined in

section 5561(5) of title 5. The determination of the Department

10 persons for each vacancy that is available to him under this

section. Nominees may be submitted without ranking or with a

principal candidate and 9 ranked or unranked alternates. Qualified

be considered qualified alternates for the purposes of selection

under other provisions of this chapter.

(b) In addition, there may be appointed each year at the Academy

Force, and from members of the Air Force Reserve Officers'

Training Corps.

(5) 150 selected by the Secretary of the Air Force in order of

merit (prescribed pursuant to section 9343 of this title) from

qualified alternates nominated by persons named in clauses (3)

and (4) of subsection (a).

(c) The President may also appoint as cadets at the Academy

children of persons who have been awarded the Medal of Honor for

acts performed while in the armed forces.

(d) The Superintendent may nominate for appointment each year 50

persons from the country at large. Persons nominated under this

paragraph may not displace any appointment authorized under clauses

(2) through (9) of subsection (a) and may not cause the total

strength of Air Force Cadets to exceed the authorized number.

(e) If the annual quota of cadets under subsection (b)(1), (2),

or (3) is not filled, the Secretary may fill the vacancies by

nominating for appointment other candidates from any of these

sources who were found best qualified on examination for admission

and not otherwise nominated.

Secretary after consulting with the Committee on Armed Services of

the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of

Representatives, subject to the following:

Congress, upon the written request of such Member, the name of the

Congressman or other nominating authority responsible for the

nomination of any named or identified person for appointment to the

Academy.

(i) For purposes of the limitation in subsection (a) establishing

the aggregate authorized strength of Air Force Cadets, the

Secretary of the Air Force may for any year permit a variance in

that limitation by not more than one percent. In applying that

limitation, and any such variance, the last day of an academic year

shall be considered to be graduation day.

of the Air Force may prescribe annual increases in the cadet

strength limit in effect under subsection (a). For any academic

year, any such increase shall be by no more than 100 cadets or such

lesser number as applies under paragraph (3) for that year. Such

annual increases may be prescribed until the cadet strength limit

is 4,400. However, no increase may be prescribed for any academic

year after the 2007-2008 academic year.

(2) Any increase in the cadet strength limit under paragraph (1)

with respect to an academic year shall be prescribed not later than

the date on which the budget of the President is submitted to

Congress under sections 1105 of title 31 for the fiscal year

beginning in the same year as the year in which that academic year

begins. Whenever the Secretary prescribes such an increase, the

Secretary shall submit to Congress a notice in writing of the

increase. The notice shall state the amount of the increase in the

cadet strength limit and the new cadet strength limit, as so

increased, and the amount of the increase in Senior Air Force

Reserve Officers' Training Corps enrollment under each of sections

2104 and 2107 of this title.

(3) The amount of an increase under paragraph (1) in the cadet

strength limit for an academic year may not exceed the increase (if

any) for the preceding academic year in the total number of cadets

enrolled in the Air Force Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps

program under chapter 103 of this title who have entered into an

agreement under section 2104 or 2107 of this title.

(4) In this subsection, the term ''cadet strength limit'' means

the authorized maximum strength of Air Force Cadets of the Academy.

date of the accrediting of said academies'' in the source law for

section 9353(a) (Act of May 25, 1933, ch. 37 (48 Stat. 73), as
