(c) The Board is hereby authorized and directed to select two actuaries, ones from recommendations made by representative of pilots and the other from recommendations made by representative of employers. These actuaries, along with a third who shall by designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, shall be known as the Actuarial Advisory Committee with respect to the Air Line Pilots' Retirement Trust Fund. The committee shall examine the actuarial reports and estimates made by the Trust Fund and shall have authority to recommend to the Board such changes in the actuarial methods employed in such actuarial reports and estimates as they may deem necessary. The compensation of the member of the committee of actuaries, exclusive of the member designated by the Secretary, shall be fixed by the Board on a per diem basis.

The additional cost of crediting military service shall be deemed to be the difference between the actuarial value of each retirement or survivor annuity or lump sum payment based in part on military service and the actuarial value of the annuity or lump sum which would be payable to the same individual without regard to military service.
