compensation. They are reimbursed for travel expenses, including per 
diem in lieu of subsistence, for travel away from their homes or

authorized under section 5703 of title 5, United States Code. 
Alternatively, travel expenses may be paid by Committee members.
    Nominations are being sought for persons to serve on the Advisory 
Committee to replace the five members and five alternate members whose
