461 note), for the purpose of advising the Secretary of the Interior in 
the implementation of a general management plan for the Mary McLeod 
Bethune Council House National Historic Site. The Commission is to 
fully participate in an advisory capacity with the Secretary of the 
Interior in the development of the General Management Plan for the 
historic site. The Commission will also, as often as necessary, but at 
least semiannually, meet and consult with the Secretary on matters 
relating to the management and development of the historic site.
    The Commission shall be composed of 15 members appointed by the 
Secretary of the Interior for 4-year terms, as follows: (1) three 
members appointed from recommendations submitted by the National 
Council of Negro Women, Inc.; (2) two members appointed from 
recommendations submitted by other national organizations in which Mary 
McLeod Bethune played a leadership role; (3) two members who shall have 
professional expertise in the history of African American women; (4) 
three members who shall have professional expertise in archival 
management; (5) three members who shall represent the general public; 
and (6) two members who shall have professional expertise in historic 
preservation. We are currently seeking nominees from recommendations 
submitted by other national organizations in which Mary McLeod Bethune 
played a leadership role.
    Nominations should be typed and include a resume providing an 
adequate description of the nominee's qualifications, including 
information that would enable the Department of the Interior to make an 
informed decision regarding meeting the membership requirements of the 
Commission and permit the Department to contact a potential member. All

and submitted in one complete package. All those interested in 
membership, including current members whose terms are expiring, must 
follow the same nomination process. Members may not appoint deputies or 
alternates.

while away from their homes or regular places of business in the 
performance of services for the Commission as approved by the NPS, 
members will be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of 
subsistence, in the same manner as persons employed intermittently in 
Government service are allowed such expenses under section 5703 of 
title 5 of the United States Code.
