In subsection (a)(3), the words “section
841
(d) of title
18” are substituted for “section
121
(1) of title
50” because of the enactment of 18:ch. 39 and the repeal of the provisions classified to 50:121(1) by sections 1102 and 1106(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Public Law 91–452,
84 Stat. 952, 960). The plural form “explosives” is used because that is the term defined in 18:841(d).
In subsection (a)(4), the words “section
921
(3) of title
18” are substituted for “section
901
(3) of title

82 Stat. 226, 234).
In subsection (e)(1)(A), the plural “explosives” is used for consistency with the term defined in subsection (a)(3). In subclause (iii), the words “by any means” are omitted as unnecessary.
In subsection (e)(2)(A), the words “unless authorized to do so pursuant to rules adopted, or authorization given, by that House” are substituted for “unless such person is authorized, pursuant to rules adopted by that House or pursuant to authorization given by that House, to enter or to remain upon such floor or in such cloakroom, lobby, or room” to eliminate unnecessary words.
