SEC. 410.13 LIMITATION ON CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNITED NA TIONS AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS.

(2) In an effort to increase the presence of United States personnel at the international food agencies and to enhance the professionalism of these institutions, it should be the policy of the United States, to the maximum extent practicable, to utilize existing personnel programs such as the United States Department of Agriculture Associate Professional Officer program to place United States personnel with unique skills in the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and the World Food Program.
