Revises the Conference Chairman's compensation to set it at level III of the Executive Schedule. Declares that Conference members shall participate in Conference activities solely as private individuals without official responsibility on behalf of the U.S. Government and, therefore, shall not be considered to hold an office of profit or trust for purposes of the eighth clause of Section 9 of Article I of the Constitution (thus permitting them, without the consent of the Congress, to accept any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever from any king, prince, or foreign state).
