    (a) There is hereby established an Avocado Administrative Committee 
consisting of nine members, each of whom shall have an alternate who 
shall have the same qualifications as the member for whom he is an 
alternate. Five of the members and their respective alternates shall be 
growers who shall not be handlers of avocados produced by others or 
employees of such handlers. Four of the members and their respective 
alternates shall be handlers or employees of handlers. The five members 
of the committee who shall be growers who shall not be handlers of 
avocados produced by others or employees of such handlers are referred 
to as ``grower'' members of the committee; and the four members who 
shall be handlers or employees of handlers are referred to as 
``handler'' members of the committee. Four of the five grower members 
shall be producers of avocados in District 1, and one grower member 
shall be a producer of avocados in District 2. Three of the four handler 
members shall be handlers, or employees of handlers, of avocados in 
District 1, and one handler member shall be a handler, or an employee of 
a handler, of avocados in District 2. No handler or handler organization 
shall be permitted to have more than one handler member and alternate on 
the committee from each district: Provided, That this requirement may be 
waived by the Secretary in the event that there are not enough persons 
available to be nominated and selected to serve on the committee.
    (b) The committee may be increased by one public member and an 
alternate. Persons for the public member positions would be nominated by 
the committee and selected by the Secretary. The committee, with the 
approval of the Secretary, shall prescribe qualifications, term of 
office and the procedure for nominating the public member and alternate.
