28 U.S.C. § 611 — Retirement of Director

**(a)** The Director may, by written election filed with the Chief Justice of the United States within 6 months after the date on which he takes office, waive coverage under chapter 83 of title 5, subchapter III (the Civil Service Retirement System) or chapter 84 of title 5 (the Federal Employees’ Retirement System), whichever is applicable, and bring himself within the purview of this section. A Director who elects coverage under this section shall be deemed an “employee” for purposes of chapter 84 of title 5, subchapter III, regardless of whether he has waived the coverage of chapter 83, subchapter III, or chapter 84. Waiver of coverage under chapter 83, subchapter III, and election of this section shall not operate to foreclose to the Director, upon separation from service other than by retirement, such opportunity as the law may provide to secure retirement credit under chapter 83 for service as Director by depositing with interest the amount required by [section 8334 of title 5](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section8334&num=0&edition=prelim). A Director who waives coverage under chapter 84 and elects this section may secure retirement credit under chapter 84 for service as Director by depositing with interest 1.3 percent of basic pay for service from January 1, 1984, through December 31, 1986, and the amount referred to in [section 8422(a) of title 5](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section8422/a&num=0&edition=prelim), for service after December 31, 1986. Interest shall be computed under [section 8334(e) of title 5](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section8334/e&num=0&edition=prelim). **(b)** Upon the retirement of a Director who has elected coverage under

31 U.S.C. § 1342 — Limitation on voluntary services

An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of Columbia government may not accept voluntary services for either government or employ personal services exceeding that authorized by law except for emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. This section does not apply to a corporation getting amounts to make loans (except paid in capital amounts) without legal liability of the United States Government. As used in this section, the term “emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property” does not include ongoing, regular functions of government the suspension of which would not imminently threaten the safety of human life or the protection of property.

28 U.S.C. § 677 — Counselor to the Chief Justice

Page 322 TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE § 675 the library each year but this will be the duty of the li- brarian. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1972—Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 92–310 struck out sentence which required the librarian to furnish a bond. § 675. Law clerks and secretaries The Chief Justice of the United States, and the associate justices of the Supreme Court may appoint law clerks and secretaries whose sala- ries shall be fixed by the Court. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 919.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1926 ed., § 328 (June 1, 1922, ch. 204, title II, 42 Stat. 614; Jan. 3, 1923, ch. 21, title II, 42 Stat. 1081; May 28, 1924, ch. 204, title II, 43 Stat. 218; Feb. 27, 1925, ch. 364, title II, 43 Stat. 1028). Section is derived from Appropriation Acts for fiscal years cited in the credits. It was omitted from the 1934 and 1940 editions of the U.S. Code because it was con- sidered to be probably of a temporary nature. This sec- tion is consistent with other provisions authorizing the appointment of similar personnel for circuit and dis- trict judges. The 1942 appropriation act (July 2, 1942, ch. 472, title IV, 56 Stat. 501) made provision for ‘‘all other officers and employees, whose compensation shall be fixed by the Court, except as otherwise provided by law and who may be assigned by the Chief Justice to any office or work of the Court.’’ The salary limitation of $3,600 was omitted and the Court authorized to fix law clerks’ salaries. Current ap- propriation acts provide that salaries of the Court’s of- ficers and employees, except the clerk and reporter, shall be fixed by the Court. See section 711 et seq. and section 751 et seq., of this title, relating to appointment of law clerks and secre- t
